I've been putting off generating a new key because I want to make sure I
know how I'm going to manage the new one before I generate it (i.e.
avoiding leaving it sitting on my desktop machine, not typing the
passphrase on that machine, etc.).

Has anyone written up "key management for Debian developers"? - how does
everybody else do it?

I'm sure I've heard a wide variety of answers when I've asked in the
past - e.g. "I keep it on a USB key and only plug it in when needed", "I
keep it on a separate machine that has no network connection and
transfer everything to and from signing by sneakernet", "I use some kind
of hardware dongle to hold it" etc.


Cheers,


Nick
