The Eratosthenes sieve is pretty basic. I would expect any programmer to be able to do it on the whiteboard. Now the quadratic sieve, that is a challenge. The GNFS even more so.
I typically create a new key pair specifically for managing my keys, and when I want to store or transport a key I encrypt it with the pubkey of my 'manager' key pair, so that if the process is interrupted somehow I can…
