Keep your cryptos safe. Ledger.N.S - Trezor - Keep Key

Hardware Wallets

A hardware wallet stores the user's private keys in a secure hardware device offline. To date there have been no verifiable incidents of Bitcoins stolen from hardware wallets.

Hardware Wallets have major advantages over standard software wallets:
• private keys are often stored in a protected area of a microcontroller, and cannot be transferred out of the device in plaintext
• immune to computer viruses that steal from software wallets
• can be used securely and interactively, as opposed to a paper wallet which must be imported to software at some point
• much of the time, the software is open source, allowing a user to validate the entire operation of the device
Once your cryptocurrency holding becomes subtancial, it is reccomeneded to store your coins offline on a hardware storage device.

1. Ledger Nano S
2. Trezor
3. Keep Key

All three wallets are very similar in the way that they handle security.
The main difference is that the Ledger Nano S uses two secure elements/chips, while the TREZOR and KeepKey are essentially small computers.
All three devices have screens, which means they can be securely setup and used even on computers infected with malware.
