Security You Can Trust

Learn how Ledger Live Desktop protects your digital assets with industry-leading security measures and best practices.

Private Key Protection

Your private keys are generated and stored exclusively on your Ledger hardware wallet, never exposed to your computer or the internet. This cold storage approach ensures maximum security against online threats and hacking attempts.

Transaction Verification

Every transaction displays on your hardware wallet's screen for manual verification. Confirm recipient addresses, amounts, and fees directly on the device before signing, protecting you from malware that might attempt to modify transaction details.

Open Source Transparency

Ledger Live's codebase is open source and available for public review on GitHub. Security researchers and developers worldwide can audit the code, ensuring there are no hidden vulnerabilities or backdoors in the application.

How It Works: Your Security Journey

When you connect your Ledger hardware wallet to Ledger Live Desktop, the application establishes a secure, encrypted connection. All sensitive operations requiring access to your private keys happen exclusively on the hardware device itself.

The desktop application serves as an interface to broadcast your signed transactions to the blockchain network and retrieve balance information, but it never has access to your private keys or recovery phrase.

This architecture means that even if your computer is infected with malware or keyloggers, your funds remain safe. Hackers cannot steal what they cannot access, and without physical possession of your hardware wallet, your assets are virtually impossible to steal.

Regular firmware updates for your hardware device and software updates for Ledger Live ensure you're always protected against newly discovered vulnerabilities and emerging threats in the cryptocurrency space.
