# Security ## What are Passkeys? Passkeys are comprised of two interconnected components: a public key shared with the intended website or app for authentication and a private key securely stored on your device. The encryption is designed to be irreversible, ensuring the utmost security and resilience against phishing attacks. Access to your passkey-protected accounts is impossible without possession of the passkeys and a method to authorize the storing device. This ensures that shared passkeys remain safeguarded, accessible only by those you explicitly trust. ## What about Private Keys? Thanks to Turnkey's secure enclave technology, your generated wallet's private keys are NEVER exposed to Scarab's or our partner's servers. Private keys can only be viewed/exported by the owner, and are locked behind passkey authorization. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
