Hi Phil, a few questions about your feature-set...

This implies that you want it to be mobile. What problems does that
solve for you?

I agree on the last two.

I still think the ideal key management device is something like what
Perry sketched out on this list several months ago: a cheap, small
device (like a Raspberry Pi) that I can place in my house and interact
with directly via wired or near-field communication (the display could
be on any other device I own). I don't see the need to take it with
me, and in fact I'd prefer that it be at home so that I know it's as
physically secure as other things I own.

Peter
