Does the feature of opening a container file on another computer make BestCrypt unsafe?
No, the feature of opening a container-file on another computer does not make BestCrypt unsafe. What happens when you mount container, stored on remote computer? After you entered password, BC calculates hash from it, and destroy password from its buffers (software does not need to remember it anymore). Then BC reads encrypted key from container file (doesn’t matter whether the container is remote or not) and decrypt the key using the hash value. After decrypting BC verifies that the key is suitable for the container, and destroy hash from its buffers (BC does not need it anymore). The key is placed to low-level memory of BC driver *locally* on your computer, and uses it for further encrypt/decrypt operations on the local computer. As you see, first: BC does not need to store password – the software just verifies if some password is suitable or not. Second – even if your container is stored on another computer, all encrypt/decrypt operations are performed on your local computer. So no
