Do you see any attacks that I haven't thought of?
Would it be in the swap space somewhere unencrypted?

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Yes, that's true. That should be mentioned. I don't use swap for that reason myself.

But some footnotes:

- If Bitcoin is implemented properly, it wouldn't store keys in swappable memory.
- Swap should be encrypted anyway - but that makes hibernation more difficult.
