&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;offline transaction&amp;quot; refers to the practice of keeping the private keys on an offline device (not connected to the internet), and singing on individuals transactions. The signature is then copy-pasted from this device into a connected device, and broadcast into the Bitcoin network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming the offline computer is malware-free is easier than a connected device. If this assumption is held, then this practice is virtually risk-free of bitcoin theft.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Offline transactions can also be used when talking to an [[Overlay Network]] (e.g. [http://stratum.bitcoin.cz/ Stratum]) or equivalent - an ultra thin client can send only signatures to the Overlay server, thus mitigating the risk of a malicious server running away with one&amp;#039;s BTC.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
