Really not sure what to make of this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitkey.build&#x2F;screens-are-not-a-panacea&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitkey.build&#x2F;screens-are-not-a-panacea&#x2F;</a><p>The security model seems to be that the hardware device essentially acts as a confirmation button for all operations prepared on the server...?<p>That seems like a pretty big step down from trusted channel based solutions that can actually achieve &quot;what you see is what you sign&quot;. I don&#x27;t see why the proposed improvements couldn&#x27;t be just that: Improvements to a secure input&#x2F;output device, not replacements of one.
