Maybe something akin to patent law here would work better than a
technological solution.  Once you share something it is public unless
you force the the receiving party to sign a non-disclosure document.

Once you share your public key with even one person it is in the
public domain.  If you want to make it painful enough to prevent this
from happening have the receiving party sign a contract of
non-disclosure which stipulates what the penalties will be if the
break the contract.  Just my two cents and I'm sure it doesn't cover
everything.
