Bump, with a radical security idea. There is no point in using a wallet if you can't feel secure updating it, as you will then be exposed to security vulnerabilities.
Nobody has it, that I know of in the crypto space and that is the issue.
Yeah, possibly the big players [Coinbase, Gemini, Kracken, etc]
The standard claim by all of them is "We have the best security in the industry". I'm so tired of reading superlatives in every wallet description.
so that wallets can't say exaggerations like this, a wallet security commitee needs to be formed.
Its members should include contributors to various open-source wallets, as well as security professionals working for the big wallet companies.
Their sole function would be to review the source code of every wallet (an audit) and then assign it a rating like A+, A, etc. It would also give out
0 ratings to wallets which aren't code-signed (not a problem as you can buy these from second-hand TLS sites for $60/year). In my opinion, all wallets should be code-signed by a reputable CA (even Electrum, eventually).
The rating would be the only benchmark you are allowed to advertise in your wallet.
It worked with UL Benchmarks I don't see why it wouldnt work wih code & software.
Unfortunately most people in the space are not at all literate about cryptography.
That's not going to help someone against a rouge wallet.
