ParmAirGap Zero is the Pi Zero version of ParmAirGap. Purpose…
- Safe key generation.
- Key testing/verification – check the seed you use on your hardware wallet is correctly generating addresses and not using a secret parallel seed to trick you.
- Writing encrypted letters – Useful with Parman’s Inheritance Planning Service.
- Key storage (but you should encrypt if you do that, eg password protected wallet files)
- Stateless wallet access (don’t save seeds and enter them each time)
- Signing device (Use the camera to capture QR codes from your ParmandL Laptop which has your watching wallet connected on the same machine to your node).
- Unencrypted key storage – Consider it the same level of security as writing seeds on paper, but with extra defence (password to access encrypted drive).
