-In OpenPGP, component keys containing private key material include metadata that specifies the password protection scheme. However, this chapter focuses on OpenPGP certificates. The component keys of these certificates contain only the public part of its cryptographic key data. For information on private keys in OpenPGP, see {numref}`private_key_chapter`.
+In OpenPGP, component keys containing private key material also include metadata specifying the password protection scheme. This is another facet of metadata, akin to the aforementioned creation timestamp and additional parameters for certain algorithms. However, this discussion focuses on OpenPGP certificates, in which the component keys contain only the public part of its cryptographic key data.
