<div class="im">logs which record things like USB keyboard connections are regularly<br>
</div>truncated." (I don't, for one.) And not everyone has such a haystack of<br>
electronic gear as to make loss of the Yubikey needle plausible.<br>

With a key written on a cigarette paper, you can play the game either<br>
way: either "It was on my desk when you searched, I haven't seen it<br>
since, so you must have lost or destroyed it by accident" or "It was in<br>
the binding of my copy of 'A Midsummer Ramble in the Dolomites' by<br>
Amelia Edwards, and your search missed it. As you had my computer, I<br>
destroyed it after you left."<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>It would be easy enough to set up an escrow/destruction service (maybe they already exist - I've never had cause to use one). Its the kind of thing lawyers did in the olden days (since they were thought to be unimpeachable - alas if only it were really true).<br>
