Key Teleport is a feature designed for
COLDCARD Q
devices that lets you securely transfer:
- Seed phrases (words, xprv)
- Secure notes/passwords (singular or all in vault)
- Partially signed Bitcoin transactions (PSBTs) for multisig
It uses QR codes or NFC (with a helper website) for easy, reliable transmission, keeping your sensitive
data protected every step of the way.
How it works
- Supported Transfers
- Master Seeds (words, xprv)
- Secure Notes/Passwords (single or all stored)
- PSBTs during a multisig signing process
- Encryption and Security
- ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) for Session Key:
Both devices generate a shared session key using ECDH.
- AES-256-CTR Encryption:
That session key encrypts the data with AES-256-CTR.
- Additional Password Layer:
A short password (stretched with PBKDF2-SHA512) adds a second AES-256-CTR layer.
- Exchange Procedure
- Receiver: Shows a QR code and a numeric code to the Sender.
- Sender: Scans the Receiver's QR, then replies with its own QR code and an 8-character
password.
