> Re danger of publishing signature strings.

How about publishing the signatures that have processed by a one way
algorithm such as Xerox's SNEFRU?  Knowing the processed signature
would let you detect the original sequence without knowing exactly
which bytes were used to form the original sequence.

Possible?
