This is a really interesting question. But, does this really matter got an USB device? If there is a program on your computer, which interceps the communication, the security of you system is already broken. So the decrypted file itself could/would be read by a third party. The session key is, in this moment, the least problematic thing on your system. But, regardless of this, it is an interesting question. Werner, please tell us. ^^ Regards, Dirk -- Dirk Gottschalk Paulusstrasse 6-8 52064 Aachen, Germany GPG: DDCB AF8E 0132 AA54 20AB B864 4081 0B18 1ED8 E838 Keybase.io: https://keybase.io/dgottschalk GitHub: https://github.com/Dirk1980ac
