Born To Be Free

It is not Coldcard HACKING. It is Coldcard BACKDOOR.

Following the recent Coldcard events, we performed an additional review of Passport's entropy architecture – for current and previous Passport models – and want to share more about our existing testing and continued code hardening. Passport contains multiple independent hardware randomness sources. Before releasing each Passport model, we empirically tested each source, as well as the final combined entropy output, and performed statistical analysis on the results. Since January, we’ve also been regularly running frontier AI models against our code alongside human review of every change. This includes GPT trusted cyber access. Going forward, we intend to publish a report alongside each new software release identifying which frontier models were used plus any key findings. We are also: (1) Adding further health monitoring to detect hardware component failures and ensure that an improbable hardware failure never results in a low-entropy seed. (2) Releasing our internal entropy-testing app on Passport Prime so anyone can generate millions or billions of samples, save them to a USB drive, and perform independent statistical analysis. Our additional review found no evidence of an entropy vulnerability in Passport Prime, Passport Core, or Passport Founders Edition devices. No action is needed for Passport-generated seeds. Thank you.
