I would like to stay away from the HTTP Proxy server because if i understand
correctly, whoever has control of the HTTP Proxiy could leak that

access it (already has), when it was created(already has), and most
importantly, how many people have access to that file.
Two people can keep a secret, if one of them is dead.
There are secrets, shared secrets, widely shared secrets (shibboleths),
and public information. Shared secrets have a tendency to become widely
shared secrets, and there is no technical solution for this problem.
This is not to say that it is not useful to try to limit the circulation
of a shibboleth. It is often very useful, but "how many people have
access" implies an improbable and unreasonable level of control.
