SHSS on Nostr: If you’re trying to guess a private key from a public key, but it’s different ...
If you’re trying to guess a private key from a public key, but it’s different when you have control of the device and have to rely on the hardware to protect the secret. The old Trezors that lacked a secure element are a good example. It’s almost trivial to extract the PK from those if you know what you’re doing
