Is it safe to store encrypted keys in local persistent memory?

Storing keys locally is safe when the security model is right — hardware-backed encryption and keychain binding.

The Short Answer

Storing encrypted keys locally is safe if the master key never touches the agent process and decryption is bound to the device keychain. An encrypted blob without a protected master key is just obfuscation.

Wrap the master key in a local KMS, store only the wrapped ciphertext, and rotate encryption keys on a schedule. Audit every decryption event.

Pro Tip: Zero on Fork

Configure the runtime to zero memory and drop keys when the process forks or is inherited, so copied processes start keyless.
