PrivateKeys – SSH Keys as a Service

Wow. The key this made for me is so much nicer than my old key. I see what they mean about the high-quality entropy. Those crazy Germans do everything better. It seems like SSH runs much faster with the optimized keys, and with such good entropy nobody will ever guess my key.<p>Please get the key exchange functionality working soon, so I can trade in all of my old homemade keys for new ones.<p>One thing, though - I noticed the new key isn&#x27;t very compressible, it would be cool if you could tweak the entropy generator so that the new keys could be compressed with ZIP or whatever so they don&#x27;t take up as much space on disk as the old ones - or maybe there&#x27;s a way you could make the keys smaller. With really random entropy it seems like you could probably use smaller keys and the security would be the same.

What? Why would I ever <i>pay</i> someone else to generate crypto tokens for me? This is a slap in the face to every safety procedure surrounding private keys. A key escrow is bad juju.
