Yes, it seems it would be a good start. However, if unwanted data can then be 
still
submitted remains to bee seen, because what if anonymous email services would 
use
DKIM too?

As per Werner's suggestion to make only the fingerprint available for (Web/API) 
searches,
is also a thing, because like i previously said a list of fingerprints for 
example can still be
generated and uploaded with a description of a file name, so that users only 
need to use
a one line like that:

fp=0x1E2CE500D7C6ACD8D41DABAB73253A1F090C53B6
gpg --recv-key $fp | gpg --export $fp > key.asc && gpg --list-packets key.asc |\
grep -e '^:user ID packet: "[[:digit:]]'|sed -e 's/^:user ID packet: "//' |\
sort -n | sed -e 's/^[^@]*@//'| tr -d '"\015\012' | fold -w 76 | base64 -d >

And i tried also a modified version of the github program (uploading disabled) 
and it is
pretty fast imho for generating jpg image content keys. For other binary stuff 
it is slow.

Stefan
