It is important to also note that proof of secret key schemes are highly da=
ta inefficient and likely would have a higher cost for users than simply al=
lowing arbitrary data to continue. In ECDSA, purposely re-using k values al=
lows you to encode data in both k and the entire secret key, as both become=
computable. Or, one could bruteforce a k value to encode data in a sig, as=
is done in some compromised hardware key exfiltration attacks. Additionall=
y, one can bruteforce keys in order to encode data in the public key.
It is very difficult and expensive to attempt to limit the storage of arbit=
rary data in a system where the security comes from secret keys being arbit=
rary data.
