Episode Synopsis

The DIY Bowser Bitcoin hardware wallet doesn’t have a hardware secure module, meaning that a sophisticated attacker can extract the storage when he has physical access to the hardware. But this is why Bowser has BIP39 password protection, so that only encrypted ciphertext is stored on the hardware, and the user always must type in the passphrase in order to spend the bitcoin.
