Begin with Security as Priority
When beginning at Ledger.com/Start, prioritize device integrity and private key protection. Always confirm you are on an official Ledger domain, follow the step-by-step setup instructions shipped with your device, and never share your recovery phrase.
Step-by-step Quick Start
- Verify the package and tamper seals before opening.
- Download Ledger Live from Ledger.com only and confirm the digital signature when available.
- Follow on-screen instructions in Ledger Live to initialize the device; create a PIN and securely record the recovery phrase offline.
- Install only the official apps you need via Ledger Live; avoid third-party installations unless verified.
Web & Application Security Measures
This section explains front-end measures implemented on the page and recommended server-side headers.
- Content Security Policy: Prevents unauthorized script or resource loading (CSP above). Deliver CSP via HTTP header where possible.
- Frame busting / Clickjacking protection: Ensure
X-Frame-Options: DENY
orframe-ancestors 'none'
in CSP. - Secure transport: Enforce HTTPS and HSTS at the server to protect data in transit.
- Secure cookies: Set cookies with
Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict
when storing session identifiers. - Input handling: Validate and encode all user inputs server-side; avoid inline script and use nonces for necessary inline execution.
Operational Resilience & Availability
To reduce downtime and ensure the site remains accessible:
- Host critical services behind a reputable CDN and implement health checks and graceful maintenance pages.
- Monitor uptime and configure alerts. Plan and test backup/restore and disaster recovery procedures.
