to use it, even over public wifi access, because all the traffic is

encryption happens *after* the data is out of my control. I can't
be sure there isn't a keylogger or similar there grabbing my password.
[ I'm hoping someone will describe a secure way around this problem. ]
In my research I've only come across one reasonably good solution:
1) HTTPS connection to web site.
2) Open source Java applet with embedded minimal PGP
3) Enter uid and password to regenerate your private and public
PGP keys on local machine
4) Use PGP encryption for communication and / or secure
temporary local data storage.
