A fingerprint-unlocked EAL5+ device from a Korean security firm, covering many networks over Bluetooth, with no public firmware repository.
Our assessment
D'CENT is made by IoTrust, a Korean cybersecurity company operating since 2017, and is the only device in this comparison that unlocks with a fingerprint. It uses an EAL5+ secure element and connects to a mobile app over Bluetooth, covering more than 80 networks and 4,500 tokens.
Biometrics instead of a PIN
The fingerprint sensor replaces PIN entry for transaction confirmation, which removes shoulder-surfing and speeds up routine use. Reported reliability varies with finger placement and skin condition, so it is a convenience improvement rather than a security upgrade — a fingerprint cannot be changed once it is compromised, which a PIN can.
Why the score sits mid-table
We found no public firmware repository, no independent security research programme and no legal terms at a conventional address. Our rubric scores what a buyer can verify before purchase, and a device whose code cannot be inspected has to be taken on the vendor's word. The device may well be sound — that is exactly the problem the score is describing.
What is published
Device security and specification documentation is reachable without an account, and the vendor's identity and history are established rather than anonymous. Among closed-firmware devices, having a named security company behind it is worth more than it sounds.
Who it suits
D'CENT fits mobile-first users who want biometric convenience across many chains and are comfortable trusting closed firmware from a known Korean security vendor. Buyers who want to verify the code themselves should choose Trezor, BitBox, Foundation Passport or OneKey.

Frequently asked
Does this score mean D'CENT is secure?
No. It measures what a buyer can verify before purchase: published firmware source, documented security claims, and open documentation. Physical security is not tested by us and is not scored.
Why does firmware openness matter so much here?
It is the one substantive security property an outsider can check without specialist equipment. Everything else on a hardware wallet requires trusting the vendor or a third-party teardown.
What would raise this score?
Publishing firmware source, a dedicated security or audit page, and open technical documentation at stable public addresses — all of which are checkable by anyone.
