For between participants, the payload is self authenticating
by nature of the crypto... you received it, from somewhere,
that may also have included some more identity inside,
it decrypted, done.

For standalone clearsign maybe user could encrypt a hash
of the signable content, to a separate publicly published age
secret keypair that they gave provenance, that anyone could
then decrypt, but that is convoluted, and is in conflict with
standard of teaching people to never publish any secret key.

Much better to use pgp, signify, minisign or whatever
else for public sigs.

As for age, people can play with this key which will expire
and be destroyed on or before 2022-04-30...
