 In {{{0.3. Ciphers}}}, tor-spec.txt says we use 1024-bit rsa as our public
 key cipher.

 Later, it turns out we use other things, but if you're just reading from
 the top, you will conclude that we're still relying on 1024-bit rsa for
 everything (which would be bad).

 We should update the {{{0.3. Ciphers}}} section to include the ciphers we
 use now. Or we should rework things so there doesn't need to be a {{{0.3.
 Ciphers}}} section that apparently doesn't get updated when the other
 parts of the spec get updated. :)
