What’s the canonical way to manage cryptographic keys associated with particular source code? (e.g. SSH or RSA key pairs strongly associated with a particular program).
I am reluctant to check this into version control for obvious reasons, but I don’t want them to reside only on few people’s local hard drives either.
You could put them into version control encrypted, and let only a few people know the password. This has the advantage that they are stored along with the code and that you can update them easily, but the files are useless to an attacker (providing you use a strong password).
