Exploring the multi-layered security features that protect your digital assets
At JITO, we approach security as a comprehensive system rather than isolated features. Our defense-in-depth strategy implements multiple layers of protection, ensuring that even if one security measure is compromised, your private keys remain secure.
Every JITO device incorporates four fundamental security principles:
We believe in transparency and third-party verification of our security claims. That's why we regularly subject our devices and systems to rigorous independent security audits by leading cybersecurity firms.
These comprehensive audits include:
Audit reports are published on our website, demonstrating our commitment to security transparency and continuous improvement.
The technologies that make JITO devices impenetrable
At the heart of every JITO device is a dedicated secure element chip - a tamper-resistant hardware component specially designed to protect cryptographic keys.
This specialized microcontroller features:
Our secure element meets FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Common Criteria EAL5+ certification standards, ensuring it meets the highest security requirements for protecting sensitive cryptographic material.
Truly unpredictable random numbers are essential for creating secure cryptographic keys. JITO devices incorporate hardware-based True Random Number Generators (TRNG) that derive randomness from quantum physical processes rather than algorithmic methods.
Our TRNG implementation:
This approach ensures that private keys generated on JITO devices are truly random and mathematically impossible to predict or recreate.
JITO devices are designed to operate in an air-gapped environment, completely isolated from internet connections. This physical separation from networked environments eliminates remote attack vectors.
Key aspects of our air-gapped security model:
By maintaining this strict separation between internet-connected devices and private keys, JITO creates a physical security barrier that malicious actors cannot penetrate remotely.
JITO devices implement robust multi-factor authentication, requiring multiple independent verification methods to access your digital assets. This ensures that even if one authentication factor is compromised, your private keys remain protected.
Our authentication options include:
By combining "something you know" (PIN), "something you are" (biometrics), and "something you have" (physical device), JITO creates a comprehensive authentication system that aligns with the highest security standards.
JITO implements the industry-standard BIP-39 mnemonic recovery system, allowing you to restore your private keys if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen. This standardized approach ensures compatibility while maintaining robust security.
Our recovery implementation includes:
The recovery system is designed to be secure, reliable, and user-friendly, ensuring you never lose access to your digital assets even if your hardware device becomes unavailable.
JITO devices maintain firmware integrity through a comprehensive security model that prevents unauthorized or malicious code execution. Our approach ensures that only authentic, verified firmware can run on your device.
Key aspects of our firmware security:
This comprehensive approach to firmware security protects against supply chain attacks, malicious updates, and other firmware-targeted threats.
Our commitment to meeting and exceeding industry standards
Our secure element is certified under the Federal Information Processing Standard for cryptographic modules, verifying its resistance to physical tampering and robust key protection.
This internationally recognized certification confirms our hardware meets rigorous security engineering requirements with semi-formal design and testing.
Our information security management system is certified to this international standard, ensuring systematic protection of sensitive information.
The secure element chip in our devices has achieved Common Criteria EAL6+ certification, indicating formal verification methods and high attack resistance.
Our True Random Number Generator has been validated according to the German BSI AIS-31 methodology, confirming its entropy quality and reliability.
We adhere to the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS), an industry-specific framework for securing cryptocurrency systems.
