Topic: Are VMs adequate for cold/cool wallets? - page 2. (Read 2875 times)
Specifically the sort of mid-security cool wallet that clients like Armory offer. I already have split-secret paper wallets for the "savings account" but I need something more accessible for more regular mid-grade purchases. I know a thing or two about a thing or two and would secure the VM holding private keys quite well - TrueCrypt full volume encryption on the guest OS and the virtual disk stored on a hardware-encrypted external USB that would only ever be plugged in when in use. No network adapters on the VM and so on. The only missing piece is I don't know enough about VMs from a security standpoint to know what new security vulnerabilities might be introduced - I'm not sure how much access the host PC has to the VM's RAM, for example, or if there is any way to limit that sort of vulnerability.
