Here is what an associate passed along when I inquired about how entropy is derived with a Bitkey…&#xA;&#xA;Bitkey doesn&#39;t use a single seed phrase to protect your wallet. Instead, it&#39;s a 2-of-3 multisignature wallet, which means your funds are protected by three independently generated keys—one on your phone, one on your Bitkey hardware device, and one in our server-side secure module (WSM). No single key can move funds on its own.&#xA; &#xA;Each key is generated locally on its own device using a cryptographically secure random number generator, with no shared or coordinated knowledge. The entropy protecting your wallet comes from the combination of three independent sources.&#xA;The App Key is derived from a 256-bit seed generated by your phone&#39;s operating system cryptographic random number generator.&#xA;&#xA;The Hardware Key is generated entirely on your Bitkey device from a 256-bit seed produced by the hardware true random number generator (TRNG) inside the secure element. That seed never leaves the secure element.&#xA;&#xA;The Server Key is generated inside an AWS Nitro secure enclave from a 512-bit master seed produced by the enclave&#39;s cryptographic random number generator.&#xA; &#xA;Because Bitkey is open source, you can review the implementation yourself here:&#xA;https://github.com/proto-at-block/bitkey&#xA; </html></oembed>
