You don't need to post a request for this. Etotheipi is working on a new wallet format that will include encryption of the public keys too.
Topic: Is wallet file protected? (Read 975 times)
I just imported my wallet file. I wasn't asked any password or anything. After the import I saw my bitcoin in there with all my transaction history. Isn't the wallet file supposed to be encrypted and/or have a password on it somehow so that can't be done like that? I'm talking about the physical *.wallet file itself that is in the armory data folder. Is there a way to fully protect that wallet file?
You only need the password to sign/transact. AFAIK, an encrypted Armory wallet will show all funds and public addresses (along with associated transactions from the blockchain) whether you've entered your password or not, since this doesn't require the privkey. I don't *think* there's a way to change it, but you can ask (and log request with) dev by emailing [email protected]So basically if someone "hacked" my computer all they would need to do is grab my *.wallet file and then all they would need is my passphrase to spend the funds? The fact alone someone can blindly import my wallet file without any passwords or security and see my entire wallet history and transactions. I will definitely submit a request to have password protection on this. Even the original bitcoin.org wallet you can't just import it or see any history in it without first knowing a password.

Was it a watching-only copy of a wallet that you imported?
