Ok. as PoC I created such a key and used NIST guidelines to create the
pbkdf2 hash and also saved as reference the parameters used, in case
I had to send the pub key to another CA. Since Governikus needs an
email address for returning the certified pub key, I used a 'noreply'
disposal email address which (hopefully) everybody can use too.
Additionally I can create a secp256k1 sub key so that I can also
do Bitcoin transactions with my multi purpose key. :-)
I am attaching the key to this message.
The good thing now is in case I had to sign a message here on the ML
I can use this key with this spam address and not get spam with my
new real email address. :-)
