They are encrypted files that Wikileaks occasionally releases....then, hypothetically, if something nefarious was to happen to Julian Assange, the key to unlock the encrypted file would be released. As to what the file contains...who knows?
Chip Tatum, a CIA operative and hitman, had an insurance file, he and his buddies distributed classified documents (orders given to them) to differing heads of state (or ambassadors) and let this fact be known to their superiors (that dirt would fly if anything happened to them). So this was done before the internet.
Heather Mills has deadman's switch too. A "box of evidence stored w/ a friend to be released should anyone top her off." Paraphrase. It's on youtube. She has good reason to fear.
