I believe they could check it against your name. With your name and ssn they can do all sorts of stuff. Hence my earlier post about not wanting to share my SSN with a store. Yes. It's my "private" key and in this sort of encryption scheme, I shouldn't need to share it with anyone but if the idea is that it is supposed to be a sensitive bit of information to serve as a disincentive, then someone has to verify that I didn't just make it up. That means I have to share it.
