* The secret key ''sk'': a 32-byte array, freshly generated uniformly at random
The algorithm ''PubKey(sk)'' is defined as:
-* Let ''d = int(sk)''.
-* Fail if ''d = 0'' or ''d &ge; n''.
-* Return ''bytes(d⋅G)''.
+* Let ''d' = int(sk)''.
+* Fail if ''d' = 0'' or ''d' &ge; n''.
+* Return ''bytes(d'⋅G)''.
Note that we use a very different public key format (32 bytes) than the ones used by existing systems (which typically use elliptic curve points as public keys, or 33-byte or 65-byte encodings of them). A side effect is that ''PubKey(sk) = PubKey(bytes(n - int(sk))'', so every public key has two corresponding secret keys.
