Hi GnuPG folks-- I just noticed that a couple places in doc/DETAILS and doc/gpg.texi refer to "conventional encryption". Does this mean "symmetric encryption" or something else?
More concretely, i'm assuming it refers to "SKESK[0]-prefixed SEIPD[1]
packets". Is this correct?
In 2015, i'm not sure whether this is any more "conventional" than
PKESK-prefixed SEIPD packets. Should the term be explained somewhere?
