I am talking about asymmetric key cryptography which is also used to sign
apps. All you need is you private (secret) key. It's in your keystore
file (which simply can holds more private keys than one. If you (or
anyone) can have your private key and know the passphrase s/he
will be able to sign "on behalf" of you and nobody will catch the
difference. So you only need the key or keystore copied/moved
to other machine.

PS: that's why it's important to keep private secure and have strong
passphrase. Once both leak you're in trouble.

More on wikipedia if you are not familiar with cryptgraphy subjects:

Sure... the key is the same, no matter what machine it's on. I've even 
emailed it to myself and installed it on different machines.

Why not just testing yourself? Private key is just what you need
to do so,
so if you copy keystore to other machine and sign with it then you
just signed
your app right.

I have re-packaged my apps using the same keystore file on Linux,
Windows, and Mac without any issues.
