journal: rework terminology
Let's clean up our terminology a bit. New terminology:
FSS = Forward Secure Sealing
FSPRG = Forward Secure Pseudo-Random Generator
FSS is the combination of FSPRG and a HMAC.
Sealing = process of adding authentication tags to the journal.
Verification = process of checking authentication tags to the journal.
Sealing Key = The key used for adding authentication tags to the journal.
Verification Key = The key used for checking authentication tags of the journal.
Key pair = The pair of Sealing Key and Verification Key
Internally, the Sealing Key is the combination of the FSPRG State plus
change interval/start time.
Internally, the Verification Key is the combination of the FSPRG Seed
plus change interval/start time.
