Another reason for keeping physical security over keys, nym keys, if it
is important enough that the nym stays unidentifiable, should be kept on
a different secring.pgp, which should be kept physically secure on a disk
and encrypted using some other key than your own real-name secret key
(this is just a measure to prevent breaking one key revealing the nym).
