Heiko Schaefer	e49d1e69af	clarify certification text ... And use Bob's real fingerprint.	2023-11-25 15:57:00 +01:00
Heiko Schaefer	4b9c064a8b	it seems confusing to imply that bob will necessarily distribute a third-party certification, this is only true some of the time	2023-11-25 15:43:24 +01:00
Heiko Schaefer	a3b5e263e3	add missing space	2023-11-25 15:36:40 +01:00
Heiko Schaefer	5f694e8c23	clarification: "append" implies "stored at the end of a file." this is not generally true for these two cases. ... I now realize that this is weird: we're claiming that certificates are "append only". However, the meaning of that term, in OpenPGP is ... not about the location of additions. Rather it just means "we only get to add packets, not remove them". Regardless of packet order.	2023-11-25 15:11:17 +01:00
Heiko Schaefer	5faec16cb8	Improve on original text: "Elements" encompass both "components" and "signatures." Regarding malicious addition, we care about both. ... Additionally, "typically" reads confusingly weak to me, erring on the side of "maybe too strong" with "will" seems better.	2023-11-25 14:56:17 +01:00

Heiko Schaefer	e05f104974	clarify enumeration of legitimate unbound packets ... This is supposed to be a list of legitimate uses. I've removed the elaboration of the flooding problem, and replaced it with a link to an elaboration in ch4.	2023-11-25 14:16:30 +01:00
