I normally run a java-ssh applet using one time passwords to a mostly throwaway account, loaded off an https web page, when I need remote access from untrusted machines. It works pretty well. If I were using PGP like that, I'd probably disavow read perms on the key and use an suid-another-user pgp script, to try to protect the PGP key itself from copying...sort of analogous to a smartcard. Using untrusted hardware for secure computation is living in sin, but it's not too hard to minimize the risk. ipaq running linux with 1xRTT and 802.11b is smaller than a .380, and vastly more useful in modern warfare, though. > > > ===== > end > (of original message) > > Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: > Yahoo!
