Best place to hide secret keys?

I am looking for advice on where to store encryption keys and other sensitive application data. Is a certificate on a USB stick really the way to go here? What can you do to keep your secret keys safe?

Solution

  • Keep them on a smart card, or use the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that is present in many machines sold these days.
