@ -546,16 +546,15 @@ The "restrictions dictionary" is a table which establishes an upper bound on
how this authority (or any attenuations thereof) may be used. It is
effectively a set of key-value pairs.
A "signing key" is an EC-DSA192 private key string, as supplied to the
SigningKey() constructor, and is 12 bytes long. A "verifying key"
is an EC-DSA192 public key string, and is 24 bytes
long. A "key identifier" is a string which securely identifies a specific
signing/verifying keypair: for long RSA keys it would be a secure hash of the
public key, but since ECDSA192 keys are so short, we simply use the full
verifying key verbatim. A "key hint" is a variable-length prefix of the key
identifier, perhaps zero bytes long, used to help a recipient reduce the
number of verifying keys that it must search to find one that matches a
signed message.
