The problem comes that a natural term to use to describe this feature would
be "key escrow". However, the gov't has soiled that term. Now, I need a
new term, hopefully true to the language to describe a feature like this
without calling up images of GAK.
"Remote Backup" seems to be OK. Certainly backing up data is a
perfectly respectable thing. Private keys are just more data.
