With all this heartbleed stuff going around ... And major service providers 
declaring to all internet users, "Change all your passwords everywhere," it 
suddenly seems like a good idea to use something like CBCrypt, huh.   Because 
if attackers attack a server and discover your password, you have to change 
your password.  But if they attack the server and discover your public key on 
that server, no big deal.

Still, if they got the private key of the server, then the server admins need 
to change their cert, but the whole point of using asymmetric key 
authentication for users is to protect the user credentials.
