Description
This subpacket contains a list of binary flags that hold information about a key.
The following paragraph is taken from RFC 2440 - OpenPGP messages format, part 5.2.3.20.:
«The flags in this packet may appear in self-signatures or in
certification signatures. They mean different things depending on who
is making the statement -- for example, a certification signature
that has the "sign data" flag is stating that the certification is
for that use. On the other hand, the "communications encryption" flag
in a self-signature is stating a preference that a given key be used
for communications. Note however, that it is a thorny issue to
determine what is "communications" and what is "storage." This
decision is left wholly up to the implementation; the authors of this
document do not claim any special wisdom on the issue, and realize
that accepted opinion may change.»
