However, keep in mind this:  If a keylogger/spyware ensnares one's Key &
operable passphrase, then merely changing the passphrase once you get
home will not eliminate the "intruder" from now having a matching
combination for later use.

The "best/paranoid" practice would be to have a Key used only on one's
portable/Public PC device coupled with a "codeword" for each
correspondent to be inserted within each missive to confirm authenticity.
