Time limited archives?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I had a idea in my sleep, now I know it wouldn't be super infallible with out lots of work but how could we make a archive type (RAR, 7z, zip whatever) that after a set amount of time could no longer be opened? Say when you go to open it like 30 days after making it, it would just self destruct?

Would need to be a self-extracting archive with date-checking code. I don't think 7-Zip or WinRAR support anything like that.

Well, you could still use a self-deleting batch in a SFX archive.

 

Loosely, connect the dots between this (seemingly unrelated):
