Comment on Improving the security of your SSH private key filesparent

This is straying out of my knowledge, but I'm pretty sure most smart cards perform the encryption on the card itself. The public key can be exported, but without specialized hardware and/or software (that you hopefully don't run all the time in an unlocked fashion), you can't extract/set the private key.
