“…Hardware wallets: These wallets are specialized devices of cryptography for generating, storing private keys, and authenticating transactions [24]. In most instances, they are safer wallets because transaction signing occurs on the hardware wallet, and the private key does not leave the safe hardware wallet system, it prohibits malware from stealing digital wallets [31]. A hardware wallet is commonly a USB flash memory (Figure 3) with software installed and ready to use.…”

Digital wallet as a software program or a digital device allows users to conduct various transactions. Hot and cold digital wallets are considered as two types of this wallet. Digital wallets need an online connection fall into the first group, whereas digital wallets can operate without internet connection belong to the second group. Prior to buying a digital wallet, it is important to define for what purpose it will be utilized. The ease with which a mobile phone transaction may be completed in a couple of seconds and the speed with which transactions are executed are reflection of efficiency. One of the most important elements of digital wallets is data organization. Digital wallets are significantly less expensive than classic methods of transaction, which entails various charges and fees. Constantly, demand for their usage is growing due to speed, security, and the ability to conduct transactions between two users without the need of a third party. As the popularity of digital currency wallets grows, the number of security concerns impacting them increases significantly. The current status of digital wallets on the market, as well as the options for an efficient solution for obtaining and utilizing digital wallets. Finally, the digital wallets' security and future improvement prospects are discussed in this chapter.

Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is a digital identity management model managed in a decentralized manner. It allows identity owners to manage and store their digital identities in a software wallet, for example, on a smartphone, without relying on centralized providers. This approach tries to enhance the security and privacy of digital identities and, thereby, their owners. With the new eIDAS regulation, elements of SSI, such as the wallet, are being pushed onto the market. However, since the model is relatively new, the security threats are still not fully known. This is shown by a brief security analysis of selected existing SSI wallets. In order to get a picture of the known threats, we systematically analyze and categorize related work in the field of SSI and elements applied by SSI. We then evaluate their application to current SSI systems and identify future work.
