Hello together,
I have made up my mind on how to set up a really secure environment for the Bitcoin client, such that the private keys (wallet.dat) are always safe, under all conceivable scenarios of attack.
As a result, I make three concrete best-practice proposals on how to setup such systems. They all have in common that they are based on 100% open source Linux systems, and the boot medium is a Live CD (preferably), or a USB stick having no contact to another potentially insecure operating system running on the same computer.
The full concept is put together in a 23 pages PDF file that explains all the details and shows illustrations by screenshots and block diagrams.
I hope that many people here in this forum find the time to read it - hopefully it will help making the Bitcoin users more aware of potential threads, and the Bitcoin world a little safer.

This Guide shows how to set up a practically 100% secure computer system for the Bitcoin client.
Three concrete examples with a detailed step-by-step guide make the topic very tangible. At the core of each of these three examples is a 100% open source GNU Linux system that is booted from a Live CD or a USB stick.
