Understanding Bitcoin Security

• What makes Orbit's security different?

  Orbit's security is built on the principle of non-custodial ownership. Unlike centralized exchanges or custodial wallets, Orbit never has access to your private keys or Bitcoin. Your keys are generated and stored locally on your device using advanced cryptographic techniques.

  Additionally, Orbit supports multiple security layers including biometric authentication, hardware wallet integration, and local encryption. This multi-layered approach ensures your Bitcoin remains secure even if one security layer is compromised.

• How are my private keys protected?

  Your private keys are generated using cryptographically secure random number generation and encrypted using AES-256 encryption before being stored on your device. The keys never leave your device and are protected by your device's secure enclave or trusted execution environment.

  When you enable biometric authentication, your encrypted keys are further protected by your device's biometric security system. Even if someone gains access to your device, they cannot access your Bitcoin without your biometric authentication.

• What happens if my device is lost or stolen?

  If your device is lost or stolen, your Bitcoin remains secure through multiple protection layers. First, your private keys are encrypted and protected by biometric authentication. Second, you can recover your wallet using your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase on a new device.

  We recommend immediately installing Orbit on a new device and recovering your wallet using your backup phrase. Once recovered, you can transfer your Bitcoin to new addresses for additional security. Always keep your recovery phrase stored securely and separately from your device.

• How does hardware wallet integration enhance security?

  Hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano X provide an additional security layer by storing your private keys on a dedicated, offline device. When you connect your hardware wallet to Orbit, the private keys never leave the hardware device, even during transaction signing.

  This means that even if your phone is compromised by malware or hackers, your Bitcoin remains secure because the actual private keys are stored offline on your hardware wallet. The hardware wallet only signs transactions after you physically confirm them on the device.

Security Frequently Asked Questions

• Is my Bitcoin safe from hackers?

  Yes, Orbit's non-custodial design makes your Bitcoin extremely resistant to hacking attempts. Since your private keys never leave your device and are encrypted locally, hackers cannot access your funds through traditional server breaches or exchange hacks.

  Even if someone gains access to your device, they would need to bypass multiple security layers including device encryption, biometric authentication, and the Orbit app's security measures. For maximum security, consider using a hardware wallet with Orbit.

• What if Orbit the company disappears?

  Your Bitcoin would remain completely safe and accessible. Since Orbit is non-custodial, your private keys and recovery phrase can be used with any compatible Bitcoin wallet application. Your funds are not dependent on Orbit's continued existence.

  You can import your recovery phrase into other reputable Bitcoin wallets and maintain full access to your funds. This is one of the key advantages of non-custodial wallets - you're never locked into a single provider.

• How secure is biometric authentication?

  Biometric authentication in Orbit leverages your device's built-in security features like Touch ID or Face ID. Your biometric data never leaves your device and is processed within your device's secure enclave, making it extremely difficult to compromise.

  Biometric authentication provides a good balance between security and convenience. However, for maximum security with large amounts of Bitcoin, we recommend using a hardware wallet in addition to biometric protection.

• Can malware steal my Bitcoin?

  Orbit's security design makes it extremely difficult for malware to steal your Bitcoin. Your private keys are encrypted and stored in your device's secure storage, protected by multiple layers including app-level encryption and device-level security.

  However, always practice good security hygiene: only download Orbit from official app stores, keep your device updated, avoid suspicious websites and apps, and consider using a hardware wallet for large amounts of Bitcoin.

• What should I do to maximize my Bitcoin security?

  To maximize security: enable biometric authentication, securely store your recovery phrase offline, keep your device updated, use a hardware wallet for large amounts, and never share your recovery phrase or private keys with anyone.

  Additional best practices include using a dedicated device for large Bitcoin holdings, regularly backing up your wallet, verifying all transaction details before sending, and staying informed about security threats in the cryptocurrency space.
