Writer definition should include owning private key #40

From @Gozala

I think worth adding to definition of Writer as an owner of private key, similar to how Reader is defined in terms of peer holding a public key.

To clarify, a Reader is actually any peer with access to the Read key, which is currently a symmetric key. Conversely, a Writer is the only peer that owns a given asymmetric Keypair. Having said that, the text should be updated to clarify this.

Write up and research on bip32 derivations for keys.
