I may be completely wrong, but if I understand the paper correctly,
the modified key will not produce a valid signature.

If that is the case, could not GPG attempt to validate a signature
when created, and ring alarm bells if the signature does not verify?

Of course, this would add time to the process, so perhaps there should
be an option to disable this check if the user feels the enviroment in
which keys are stored is secure.
