I already have that but it does not help when I have to ssh from a 
remote host to another remote host. How would I plug in this disk on 
key to a machine in say, Germany, when I am in Toronto so that the 
machine in Germany could access my private RSA key on the disk on 
key? Perhaps I could do some sort of remote mount to avoid having to 
copy my private key onto the remote server.
