OpenPGP allows me to create a signing subkey and then export it without exporting the master key: http://wiki.debian.org/subkeys. Unfortunately, apg does not seem to be able to import or use the resulting secret key. it would be nice if it did, then I would not have to carry around my private key on an unencrypted device.

    FYI I've created a fork of APG which works with keyrings exported using --export-secret-subkeys. It's a pretty brutal hack so I don't expect it to be pulled in to the main repository as it stands. It might be of some use to somebody other than me though. The write up, links to the source and apk are here: https://grepular.com/Android_Privacy_Guard_and_Subkeys
