Perfect. Then, just hope people follow rules.


Sometimes you have to disincentivize behavior with prison time and things like that and then hope people don't do it. Trying to prevent some crimes ahead of time is a recipe for dystopia.


In this case, "trying to prevent some crimes [of government employees leaking the golden key]" possibly means "don't make a golden key that lets governments freely hack everyone", which is generally being regarded in this thread as the non-dystopian result.
