I don't quite understand this. If you lose your laptop, you presumably
lose your revocation certificate as well. If you've backed up your
revocation certificate somewhere safe, what's to stop you from backing
up your key there as well? If it's not safe enough to back up your key,
what's to stop an attacker from revoking your key and committing a
denial of service attack?
