I just wanted to make you aware of something interesting I learnt recently:

In DKIM (and probably other signing systems), doing a regular key rollover is a 
good idea. That is not so new. What was new to me is the idea of publishing the 
old secret keys when rotating:

tl;dr: DKIM-signed mail is verifiable, but only the headers; the body can be 
tampered with; it is only designed to provide authenticity in the one second 
the mail is received; malicious people could steal e-mail archives and abuse 
modified (or even original) mails against senders, even using them in court 
maybe; publishing the old keys restores deniability because "everyone could 
have signed that mail because the keys are public"


Cheers,
Nik
