can encryption keys be extracted from compiled c++?
Assume an intruder can decrypt a particular linux system's stolen hard drive.
Can the intruder extract the decryption key to the database from a compiled c++ program that resided on the now decypted drive?
If so, how should the keys to the database be stored?
If periodic temporary application crashes are tolerable, would a tmpfs be optimal?
