We'll start with a very minimal version of [](alice_priv), stored as a *transferable secret key* ([RFC 10.2.](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-10.html#transferable-secret-keys)) (that is, including private key material).
Note that the secret key material we're using in this chapter is not password protected. To learn more about encrypting private key material with passwords in OpenPGP, see
{numref}`encrypted_secrets`.
In this section, we use the Sequoia-PGP tool `sq` to handle and transform our example OpenPGP key, and to inspect internal OpenPGP packet data.
One way to produce this minimal version of Alice's key is:

## Private key operations
The core of private key operations doesn't require access to the whole certificate. A private key subsystem only needs to handle the cryptographic key material.
