I'm not sure I get it. Looks like the idea is to protect form private key compromise. In which case why is having N instead of one private keys sitting in the same directory more safe? It's not that you are more likely to leak the used ones... If this did automatic key rotation, it might be quite useful!

I am with you here. It sounds like the security benefit is the key rotation, which IMHO shouldn't have to be done every single time... If this is what the author meant, then he would have written "key rotation" somewhere in the description?! Another way to secure the authentication is to use a One Time Password to authenticate.
