If you present an idea that has never been presented before, then you will get credit and fame for it. If you contribute code that is accepted, you will get credit for it. I do not think that the idea to store the key on a removable storage device is not original enough, I am sorry to say. :-) http://www.crypto.com/papers/frkes.ps But this is still a good suggestion. Even if an idea is not original, I am still interested in knowing whether or not you want it in an encrypted filesystem. And I will see what I can do about the donut.
