		Scoundreller on May 15, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Case study: fake hardware cryptowallet The method I’ve read about is to print “the request” onto a QR code, have the air-gapped machine scan it, sign it and print off the signed transaction QR to be scanned into the networked computer to propagate to the network. A bit more to trust but a lot less to type.

And then you get hacked anyway because the QR code generator was compromised and switched around a few bytes before creating the QR code.

Ideally it’s a functionality of the wallet, but I think only bitcoin armory has this function.
