> Google could launch the process right now by releasing its ancient 2016-era private keys. Since the secrecy of these serves literally no security purpose at this point, except for allowing third parties to verify email leaks, there’s no case for keeping these values secret at all.
I've used Google's DKIM signatures to timestamp call recordings for years by putting a sha256 of the attached recording in the subject, so "literally no security purpose" isn't true!
(though I should probably go through and timestamp those signatures right now them using another method, just in case this guy's idea gains any traction)
