And how does the trustee get access to the encrypted form of the
secret? If he has a copy of it encrypted with the old key, how do
you ensure he throws it out when you reencrypt with the new key? If
he doesn't get access to the encrypted secret until you die, then
why not simply rely on that access mechanism and forget about
encrypting it in the first place?
