I'm asking because depending on the uses it might be better to store the data using another data structure (and the private key is being stored in plain memory, but I don't know what the other ports do in this regard, so I may be being too paranoid on this one).

When server sent a message which is encrypted by the public key, 
user agent should decrypt this encrypted message using the private key which is stored.

Chrome port use std::vector to store the private keys.
It looks Win port does not store the private keys, IMHO.

There is no guarantee that server will store and use the public key permanently,
(because specification doesn't specify that)
so user agent doesn't need to store the private key in disk rather than in memory.
