Certainly! Here’s a more generic and polished version of your idea:
Proposal for Enhanced Security Feature: Double PIN Authentication
Wake up the device.
Enter the PIN.
Concern: The current software may not be genuine, potentially compromising security.
Risk of loss of assets.
Suggestion: Implement a Double PIN Feature
For example, similar to the COLDCARD, upon entering a PIN (e.g., 6969), the user would receive two anti-phishing words (e.g., "CLOWN WORLD"). The user would then enter a second password to complete the unlock process. This would provide an additional layer of security, ensuring that if the device has been tampered with or if different software is installed, the user would be alerted before entering the PIN.
Current Workaround: Dummy Profile
As a temporary measure, the main profile could be set as a dummy profile. When the PIN is entered, the user would access this dummy profile. If the device or software is altered, the applications and settings would differ, providing a clear indication of potential tampering. However, this approach has limitations, as some information about the main profile (e.g., installed applications) may still be visible from the dummy profile, which could be exploited.
This version maintains the essence of your idea while presenting it in a more neutral and structured manner.
