IMO there are two possibilities: 1) your users are forgetful but honest, 2)
your users are dishonest.

For case 1, an equivalent of ADK can be obtained with a line on GPG's
configuration file.

For case 2, you are screwed, and ADK is only going to give you a false sense
of security.

Thus ADK is either pointless or unnecessary.
