TitanTip🤓:
When you’re punching your seed into a TitanDot plate, don’t look at it ...
"When you’re punching your seed into a TitanDot plate, don’t look at it on a screen. 🚫💻"
Why? Do you mean that I shouldn’t open the seed on the screen even for a single moment? That’s difficult, because even when sending it to the printer it usually appears briefly. Or do you just mean I should avoid leaving it open for a longer period?
If I print it, that introduces two additional attack surfaces into the process. One is the printer (which obviously must not be a network connected device, and obviously no one else should have access to it – though that wasn’t discussed here). The other is the printed paper (which must be securely destroyed at the end of the process, and that wasn’t mentioned here either).
By contrast, I have to open the seed on the screen in any case, even if only for the duration of a print preview. So at that point, how much additional risk is there if I leave it open for a few minutes while I punch it into the TitanDot plate?
