Lifecycle
Product timeline
Second-generation Bitkey introduced
Product: Bitkey Hardware (2nd generation)
Bitkey introduced a new hardware generation with an on-device screen while retaining the 2-of-3 multisignature system.
Relationship-enrollment randomness bug disclosed
Product: Bitkey Mobile App
Bitkey disclosed that the mobile app used a non-cryptographic random-number generator for a one-time relationship-enrollment secret. The demonstrated practical path was limited to narrow second-generation recovery-contact or inheritance flows and did not weaken wallet spending keys.
