 7 Public Key cryptography (I)
 *****************************
 
 Public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, is an
 easy way for key management and to provide digital signatures.
 Libgcrypt provides two completely different interfaces to public key
 cryptography, this chapter explains the one based on S-expressions.
