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.
