 For production, we strongly recommend to either encrypt your disks, and/or take care to never have keys touch the disk.
 One way to accomplish is to store keys on an in-memory ramfs, which can't be swapped out, and restore it from cold
 storage or an HSM/vault whenever the node is rebooted. You might want to disable swap altogether. None of that is
