That was exactly the goal of [bLIP-0028: Paratonnerre by t-bast · Pull Request #28 · lightning/blips · GitHub](https://github.com/lightning/blips/pull/28), which can provide good security by pairing your remote node with a hardware wallet (e.g. Ledger or Coldcard). I still thinks it would be very useful to standardize the control messages in this bLIP.
