Public key fingerprint[edit]
The text in this article seems to describe a "public key fingerprint", for which an article already exists. The term "key signature" is not one I've heard before, and I can't find any google references for this use of it. I suggest deleting this article.

- This article does describe a somewhat broader concept. One could exchange hashes of symmetric keys, for example. I'm under the impression that NSA cryptosystems add some sort of signature to symmetric keys to insure only authorized keys are used. I added a see also ref to Public key fingerprint--agr 09:34, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
