Title: Re: How do you secure your BitCoin wallet? Post by: Anonymous on May 18, 2011, 03:18:39 AM I prefer to print the private keys to my wallets either on archive quality paper or through a BitBill. Others encrypt their wallet and distribute it en-masse to all the major online storage hubs. Either way works.

It provides advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself. Think of eCryptfs as a sort of "gnupgfs". . eCryptfs is a native Linux filesystem. The kernel module component of eCryptfs is part of the Linux kernel since 2.6.19. . This package contains the userland utilities.
