I have a normal terminal at home with a normal modem.  (My company provides
them to us.)  [I'm on it at the moment.]

I would never consider using RIPEM from here because I'd have to type my
KEK passphrase.

However, I could consider having to use RIPEM for some urgent reason.

I could, conceivably, make several copies of my private key and encrypt
them under passphrases which I will never use more than once.  I could then
have RIPEM accept one of these one-time phrases, use it and destroy the
file in the same step.

The vulnerability is that someone might have a copy of the file already and
from that s/he could get my private key.  Assuming I find some way around
that vulnerability, what kind of RIPEM work might I feel free to do from
home over an insecure line?

What kind might you do from home?


[P.S.  I know -- the real answer is to spend the $25 for a PC clone :-) ]
