Ledger Wallet is a special case of an HD-purse that stores private keys and signs transactions on a separate, secure device. Those. no programs, no servers have access to the keys themselves, they just give the original data and get the result with permission of the one who presses the hardware confirmation button - there is no software way from the computer to unblock the wallet or confirm the transaction (conspiracy theories about bookmarks in the wallet we leave aside).
