Foundation is ran by good people but I can’t trust their products.

Many of their statements, including:
- calling the SAMA5D2, which lacks security features found on many security-oriented processors, a “security processor”
- using the ATECC secure element, when it is known to be insecure and was designed by a defunct company
- calling smart cards, which are the most secure way to protect your keys and are constantly evolving, “ancient and dated technology”
- *forking* Xous instead of using a well known kernel like seL4 or Linux or even writing their own (from their marketing, it seems they want to associate with the good reputation of Xous)

make me strongly think that they do not have significant knowledge with security.

As with any HWW company, they have to prove that they can be trusted to make security products. I am not convinced at all.

The secret is split across the secure processor and a separate secure element and locked to your PIN or pas...
