Also what is wrong with a naive solution that works for the coder although it may not be anywhere near as fast as another method more obvious to someone else?

NAME
grid-change-pass-phrase - Change the passphrase of a private key
SYNOPSIS
grid-change-pass-phrase [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
grid-change-pass-phrase [-file PRIVATE-KEY]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-change-pass-phrase program changes the passphrase protecting a private key or PKCS12 bundle containing a private key and
certificate. By default, grid-change-pass-phrase uses the X509_USER_KEY environment variable to locate the private key. If that is not set,
then it looks for $HOME/.globus/userkey.pem and $HOME/.globus/usercred.p12 in succession. The path to a key can be specified by using the
-file command-line option.
The full set of command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase are:
-help, -usage
