Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] maintainer-pgp-guide: update ECC support information
Date: Mon, 08 Aug 2022 17:31:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220727-docs-pgp-guide-v2-3-e3e6954affb6@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220727-docs-pgp-guide-v2-0-e3e6954affb6@linuxfoundation.org>

Update ECC sections with the latest details, now that Yubikeys are able
to support ED25519 curves. Tweak a few links to smartcard devices to
reflect the latest URL changes.
