  The way *I* read your message, it looks like you might as not be using *a=
ny*=20
cryptography. This is similar (I think) to the discussion or the past week =
or=20
so about automating these kinds of things in cryptography. It may as well n=
ot=20
be used at all, since you don't want to 'physically' monitor what's happeni=
ng=20
with your public and private keys.
  Like I said, I may just be reading your message incorrectly, but that's w=
hat=20
I got out of it.
