You need protocol support to do this securely. Otherwise, your ssh-agent is 
a decryption oracle which can be used by an attacker to decrypt your LUKS 
keyfile on demand. The decryption should only be possible as part of the 
login process after the server fingerprint has been verified and before 
arbitrary application data can be sent.
