ToothPaste
ToothPaste is an open-source hardware/software tool that uses an ESP32-S3 with a crypto coprocessor to wirelessly transmit AES-256 encrypted keyboard/mouse commands via USB HID over Web BLE, enabling secure password entry on air-gapped or untrusted systems without drivers. It features a web-based firmware flasher for Chromium browsers and a PCBWay-sponsored V2 board with an ATECC608B secure element for key storage.
