I'm using public key authentication to access some servers through ssh.
I put my private key on a usb memory stick cause I need to access the
servers from different locations (when on holiday, from my home, from my
office, etc). I've password protected the private key with a very long
passphrase which is virtually unguessable. To be able to access the
private key from multiple OS'es, the fs of the memorystick is fat16.
Fat16 does not support any rights on files, so mounted on linux, all
files have 0755 permissions.


It is possible to mount your drive with 0600:
 man mount
search for fat and read about uid, gid, umask, dmask, and fmask

Btw, why don't you simply copy your key to each of your workstation
and change permissions?
