New version of the popular thread about is it possible to retain your money if everything you type from the keyboard is keylogged (what kind of solutions exist where nothing you use to gain access can be used by an attacker later).

I already answered the question (but perhaps you didn't understand that the authorities can't monopolize all hardware and software configurations, so they have to monitor what goes over "the wire" i.e. the internet):

1. Theoretically the governments can not conquer cryptography. What ever they require over the wire, can in theory be countered with steganography because even governments don't have asymmetric computing resources sufficient to overcome the probabilities of obfuscation afforded by math. (doubt they can monopolize all sources of hardware so I think they can only hope to control the routers on the network) Btw, did you see my prior post today about the failure of Cryptonote anonymity as a paradigm?

A n00b (like you apparently) should fear keyloggers because the n00b doesn't build a dedicated hardware and software system only for private keys and creating signatures. But this could be solved by making specialized devices for n00bs so they only have to press the "on" button.

And pleeaaassseee stop worrying. Even Google's lawyers admit decentralized technology is winning and they are powerless to stop it:

(and near-term is all that matters since if successful then popularity and open source will overpower any legal recourse).
