Ok great. Should I add it to the page? > Have you considered the amount of data a QR code can store vs. the size of a private key? Yes. That was my initial concern as well too. According to wikipedia, the maximum capacity of a 177x177 QR code is 23.624 bit. So I looked for a library that generates QR codes on the client in javascript and created a phonegap project adding just the barcodescanner. I was able to successfully generate a QR code from my 2048 bit ascii armored private key and then read this with my Nexus S (Android 4.0.3). Since the QR code is quite large, the phone needs to be held very still, but it works. I can provide the example eclipse project for a student, so he/she can get started. Also, I would love to provide mentoring for this task if its required. Tankred
