1Password for private key files?

<div class="IPBDescription">Does Agile have a product or feature plan to support</div>I'm posting this here, though it might be better off in the Knox section.



I and my wife have many machines that we login using respective SSH keys.

As I was using a loaner machine, I realized how insecure it all is since the private keys are not secured like my passwords are.



What I'd love is:

* Similar to 1Password, have a small encrypted storage that works on a shared folder service like Dropbox

* Mounts as a drive or folder after authentication

* Cross platform



I'm currenly keeping my keys in the agile keychain as a secure note, but since it doesn't expose itself to PuTTY/SSH or Cyberduck, I can't really use the keys without extracting them and exposing them (unless I clean up each day).



Dropbox is great but isn't secured like the agile keychain is...

    It sounds like [url="http://agile.ws/knox"]Knox[/url] is indeed the answer. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



    You can [url="http://agile.ws/downloads"]download a free trial[/url] if you want to double-check that it is indeed what you are looking for. I would love to know how it works out.



    Cheers!
