And what happens when you end up with a German Enigma Machine-esque codebreaker?
Giving the government the ability to keep these documents "secret" but also to track them and the legitimacy of the document is a surefire that they get precisely what it is they want, and not necessarily what is socially responsible - there would be no leaks, there would be no unwanted information, they would have nearly complete control over them... thats a lot of power, a lot of dangerous power. There would be no room for one morally concious person, they could simply be squealched or fingered as a terrorist or a traitor... Its carte blanche for them to do whatever they see fit.
If you still have to make sure that everything is secure at the end of the day, is this 'safety measure' really ensuring the safety which it ought to?
