That's easy: don't publish any key records.  If a verifier tries to
look up a key record for a signature that doesn't exist, it should get
the hint.

So this is obvious fraud.

    NO KEY means its not possible to sign. Therefore any signature
    in the message, means its a fraud, a fake.

Ok, makes sense.

By design, a broken signature is equivalent to no signature.

Yeah, that RFC 4871 anomaly "Failure Promotion to no signature" always 
did baffled me.  Its like getting away with murder because police 
procedure was not followed.
