clarify that session key is not generated from identity key #181

Closed dvanduzer closed 9 years ago

dvanduzer commented 9 years ago

Assuming I understand the intent correctly, we could also just delete this line since it's duplicative of the channel setup section. via #180

This change to the language is actually incorrect, when processing a message body the key is definitely a product of the incoming ephemeral key and the recipient's identity key. There is no other ephemeral key yet from the recipient, otherwise how could you generate a message in the first place? :)

Then I am not understanding which key this is referring to in contrast to the description of channel setup section. Clearly I need to try implementing 1a already.

I would love to improve the language to make that much more clear/understandable too, but I am way too close to it to see how to do that ;)
