minus-squarenibbler@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·18 hours agoIts never transmitted, can be stored in HSMs. Anything that’s handled wrong is unsafe
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 hours agoSteals it from your system I meant. Which has even happened to security pros.
minus-squareGt5@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 hours agoYes, buts it’s not something that can be easily guessed or found on a post it on the monitor
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·18 hours agoTrue dat. But if they compromise your computer the first thing the look for is key files. Like my ssh keys are in a root permission file. Protected from general sight, but if somebody compromises my PC with a CVE on then goodbye keys. At least with hardware key it is removable and requires a button press. So accessing becomes physical access or quantum computer cracking
