Let's say MDX is broken by some genius.
Remember, that the key ID is the last 8 (or four) byes of the fingerprint.
If MDX is broken, one can generatet a key with an arbitrary ID.
Well yes, but someone can generate a key with an arbitrary ID today.
Even forgetting the DEADBEEF games that are possible with v3 RSA keys,
there is a program out there that generates v4 DSA keys over and over
until the requested (short) key ID comes up.
