I am new to source code of bitcoin , but so far i have analyzed the source code it seems that encryption keys can be stolen from memory by this technique. This is something hackers often do to steal passwords.

Is there any discussion forum \ talk \ community discussing these issues ?
I have gone through the source code and i don't see any safeguarding controls for prevention of keys as such , like key container etc. Though such attacks are very difficult to do but it is possible.
Storage of keys seems like off topic here and unrelated to bitcoin. How is this specific to bitcoin? – marshal craft – 2017-05-29T09:44:13.530
bitcoin uses blockchain and blockchain relies completely on digital signatures to define an electronic coin. One of the primary security concerns for digital signatures is the storage of security keys ... if it stolen then ownership of coins can be manipulated ... – amarnath chatterjee – 2017-05-29T11:16:43.607
About as on topic as anything remotely related to a computer then by your argument. – marshal craft – 2017-05-29T15:31:46.467
