required to encrypt the keys.
You could use random symmetric encryption keys and encrypt them with a
short passphrase:

In my entry on a related thread, I was thinking that one of the simpler
ways to foil attacks on bank cards would be to make a smart card play
dumb and accept any old pin (symmetric encryption key for a private
key). That would (almost) force attackers to

Well, you should have a backup of the decryption key. It is cheaper to
steal that backup than to crack the card.
