Well, in my case I wouldn't keep an encryption subkey on the mobile device at all. What would be nice to see is a scheme where the sender could specify a wanted confidentiality level , e.g. enum {public; confidential; classified} where two different encryption subkeys could be kept at the same time. The trusted device would keep both encryption subkeys but the mobilde device only the "confidential" one at a lower security expectation. That said, I'm not entirely sure that what we need for broader adoption is more complexity to the standard, but at the same time this would enable encryption more broadly on mobile devices. In my case though I'm mostly interested in digital signatures for the mobile device though. > "cellphone substitution."
