Whoops. That should be "--export-secret-key" and "--format=PS".
Even better, just ignore my message and find the superior post on this topic by c_g_hills above.
Yeah, I stink at slashdot.

No offense, but this information is wrong. Data Matrix is completely unencumbered by patents. For one thing, it was released into the public domain by its inventor, and for another it's so old that even if there had been patents they would have expired by now.
There was one "IP" company that made some noise in 2006-2007 claiming to cover some of the underlying technology in their patent portfolio, but they were handed their hats in court. I followed the issue very closely, even stopping distribution of my Data Matrix open source project for a while, pending this outcome. But rest assured that Data Matrix is unencumbered by patents and safe to use in your projects.
Privacy With a 4096 Bit RSA Key — Offline, On Paper 232
HavanaF writes "Online backup is practical, but can it offer any privacy? The Dutch security company Safeberg developed an Offline Private Key Protocol, with an asymmetric key scheme. The protocol demands that the private (decryption) key be stored away from the 'source' computer, which presumably is 'too vulnerable.' The catch is that the private key needs to be fairly large to be secure: a 4,096-bit RSA key should suffice for some years. But how to store an 800-character key offline? Safeberg introduces a machine readable paper key, with the 4k-bit key crammed in a giant 2D Datamatrix barcode. This video on key strength tells the story."
