    Subject: Entries in Keystore

For the granting of permissions, I think, only the public key of the
signer is necessary. Only for signing the private key is necessary.
But in the keystore no entries with the public key of the signer alone
are supported.
Therefore on computers, where programs are to be run, depending on the
signer, there must be an entry with the private key of the signer. This
is an unneccessary security risk.
Is my opinion wrong?
Hermann Schmitt
