This method significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access from cyberattacks or malware. Hardware wallets, paper wallets, and air-gapped computers represent common implementations of these protocols. The deliberate separation from online networks makes cold storage a highly secure option for preserving digital asset holdings.
