let me try to publish the public key instead.

I forgot  whether puttygen.exe could produce the private key from the
public key.  I need to use the private key to connect to my linux's
openssh.

I could buy a cheap 64M USB storage to keep my own key. but it would be
nice to put it inside my mobile phone ... but any windows hacking
program could copy keys easier over the networking stack.
