Might have to try this sometime.
I wonder how long it will be until the first physical-digital theft of bitcoins. Time to get a safe?

I have done it like this myself to secure the wallet :
I have encrypted the wallet with the build-in crypt funktions of the client, then i stored the wallet.dat on an hidden AES256 encrypted Truecrypt drive. From this drive i am making automated backups every day on an other truecrypt drive on an different physical drive. And i am only using the bitcoin client and doing transactions on a clean Windows XP virtual machine.

the only way to keep yourself 100% secure is to not even get involved with it.

It's hardly as if cash/banks are 100% secure either!

Does anyone know if it is possible to encrypt a paper bitcoin wallet with the keys printed out?

Just use the original client. Set up a 20-40 character long passphrase. Don't write it down anywhere. Encrypt drive. Make regular backups of your wallet. Voila. That's it! Btw. this is the blind leading the blind thread in the newbie topic?

Will I have to update my backup every time I create a new bitcoin address?
