Correct, it's left to right. The algorithm works by eliminating any
algorithm that isn't usable by all reci

Hi.
As you probably know, one can set his prefered algorithms for a OpenPGP
key using setpref.
How is the priority specified? Is it from left to right, meaning that an
algorithm a left from another (b) is preferd in favour of b?

Backsigs are part of a signing subkey. You don't generally need to
issue them, since they are generated automatically when you make a
signing subkey. If you have an older key wit
