Thanks for reply!
But thats solely a hardware device security. About the device itself - sure we will do such things Smiley
More interested in "device<=>API" communication security. especially using websockets - is it a right solution?
Basiaclly it is an IoT project.

Using a VPS can be one way to secure a remote wallet. Plenty of settings can be set to secure the wallet.

For example...

Needing a putty key to remote in.
Non-static IP address that can be resetted after restarting the server. Only you would know the current IP.
Password to log on to a session.
Wallet Password for opening/sending funds.

And finally, backing up your private key. Electrum wallet can be used in watch-only mode to keep track of your wallet.

Hi everyone!
Not sure where to post it, so here.

Here is an abstract project structure:
- hardware (Raspberri Pi) device with the "wallet" controller by python.
- API (Ruby + Rails / Django / Spring / whatever).
- Angular 2 (web/mobile) API clients.

No one really have a security expertise, but we can get into it, if the concept is known.
Wallet is a secondary function. We can use almost any language / tool - simply depends on the objective effectiveness.
Thought to control the wallet by using web-sockets (thats just a guess).

Seeking for the professional advice on how to securely organize a remote control of the wallet by using "device(wallet)<=>API<=>client(Angular 2)" scheme.

Can give a reward for a good detailed advice(PM)

Thank you!
