The ârelay identity keyâ is not the same as the âauthority identity
keyâ.  The ârelay identity keyâ might also be different from the
âdirectory signing keyâ; I'm not sure about that.

Descriptors contain and are signed with the ârelay identity keyâ, and
the fingerprint in a descriptor is the hash of the relay identity key.
