I'd like to keep an SSH key on a USB stick rather than storing it locally on every machine I want to use the key on. The theory is that this is "more secure" for laptops that could be stolen or lost, or used by others (ie. at work). At first I would use strong enough passwords for my keys to avoid simple re-use by third parties. If you really need to use the same key on multiple platforms I would either a) use separate partitions for Windows, Linux, Mac. Pros: native support for each platform, Cons: need to sync keys every time you change them. b) use portable Putty installation for each of the platform, just keep

The problem is that when I run "ssh-add /media/stick/my_dsa" DSA ? I'd consider switching to RSA at least or ECDSA family.
