Heiko Schaefer	b121676a0d	i think "demonstrate" gestures partly in the wrong direction. ... much agility is already built in. the point here is not that more agility can be built in on short notice (even though that is also true). but rather that OpenPGP already allows users to make a lot of decisions about which mechanisms to use, right now.	2023-11-25 19:26:55 +01:00

Heiko Schaefer	a431853832	zoom_certificates doesn't talk about private keys (anymore). de-emphasize the packet-level chapter (it's still very unclear to me how many readers should look at those chapters).	2023-11-25 18:24:36 +01:00

This section started out as a remark about key flags, and was part of the "component key" section.
