I use them to provide +ways of invalidating and updating keys remotely. + +As the user with access would already have permission to do all operations +that drive the process, this script merely automates the key roll-over, +and invalidation operations. + +An invalidated key would require an alternate (if any) authentication +mechanism; thus key invalidation would be the best form of locking +out suspected compromised keys. Key regeneration is automated to +avoid timeouts which may become annoying and possibly even force +the use of a password on a potentially key-log compromised system.
