#22722: tor-spec still says "For a public-key cipher, we use RSA with 1024-bit
keys"

Severity: Normal | Keywords: torspec

------------------------------+---------------------
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. :)
