Ledger and Intel Join Forces In Partnership
Recently, cryptocurrency hardware wallet startup, Ledger, has announced a partnership with tech giant, Intel. The goal of the partnership is to integrate Ledger’s operating system, BOLOS, with Intel’s Software Extension Guard (SGX).
“By deploying Intel SGX, Ledger’s security for blockchain solutions gains instant scalability across Intel 8th Generation core platforms,” - General Manager of Platforms Security Division at Intel, Rick Echevarria.
This is excellent news because Intel has been successfully pioneering built-in security on their CPUs for decades. People are always wondering how the security landscape will evolve as it relates to blockchain private key storage and use; through this partnership, users can rest assured that every possible precaution is being put into all Ledger hardware products.
I have personally owned and used a Ledger Nano S for the past 8 months and I feel it has been one of the best investments I have made when it comes to cryptocurrency (obviously aside from investing in Ethererum and STEEM). Ledger Nano S is not only strong and secure, but it also has software support for many of the major cryptocurrencies on the market and more to come.
Here’s to the future of cryptocurrency! Grab yourself a nice stout glass of whiskey and catch the cool breeze coming in while your valuable coins sit safe and secure away from enterprising thieves!
