In the kind of setup I described and its problematic (targeted physical
attacks against activists), the passphrase is the cornerstone of the
security.

In some countries, you can condemned to death just for blogging or
participating in the promotion of (software) freedom.

In the movie citizen four, at some point, Edward Snowden mention that
even if he really wanted to give the passphrase, he would be unable to.

So I was wondering how it was possible, and if it would be accessible
enough to regular activists.
