using nodejs cluster and running all crypto functions in workers provides a lot of isolation in comparison to function closures (used now).

master:

wait for request
spawn a worker on request to sign, encrypt or verify
send secret to worker

worker

generate public/private key pair inside the worker, derived from secret
sign, encrypt and/or verify using the keypair
overwrite the keypair
send the signed/encrypted/verified result back to master
die.

master

receive returned result, send it to callee.

caveat:

see if performance suffers too much.
time is relative.
