How Interstellar compares to traditional wallets with passkey
Security & Feature Comparison
A comparison between the Interstellar Framework and a typical Wallet App with Passkey, highlighting core features and security posture.
| Feature | Interstellar | Classic Wallet App with Passkey |
| Security Model | Fully decentralized; no reliance on local storage, passkeys, or centralized servers. | Centralized; tied to passkey ecosystem but exposes private keys during signing. |
| Security | Very High | Low |
| Transaction Validation | Decentralized, eliminates blind signing; users validate cryptographically. | Blind signing is default; no cryptographic validation. |
| Security | Very High | Low |
| Private Key Exposure | Never exposed; signing via secure element. | Exposed during every signing operation. |
| Security | Very High | Low |
| Threat Mitigation | Protects against clipper malware, phishing, and overlays with cryptographic validation and secure signing. | No specific protections; vulnerable to malware and phishing. |
| Security | Very High | Low |
| Onboarding | Instant, passphrase-free, decentralized onboarding. | Simplified passkey onboarding but tied to centralized ecosystems. |
| Security | Very High | Medium |
| User Experience | Seamless and scalable; avoids key management and blind signing risks. | Passkey simplifies onboarding but retains key exposure risks. |
| Security | Very High | Low |
