Ideas is like this:

you have an ssh key but it won't be usable unless a password is given to decode it. Store it to temporary file accessible only to user

Use this as guide:

ENCODE: openssl enc -base64 -in clear_text.txt -out ENCODED.v2 -k passwordfile
DECODE: openssl enc -base64 -d -in ENCODED.v2 -out DECODED.now.v2 -k passwordfile

To check, md5 of clear_text.txt should be the same as DECODED.now.v2
