naming: CertifiedKey is confusing #391
Description
Activity
Thanks for opening an issue,
CertifiedKey reads like "a key that is (somehow) certified"
That's an accurate reading from my perspective. An X.509 certificate binds a public key with a subject identity after being certified by a certification authority.
Perhaps CertificateWithKey would be fine?
In my own opinion I'm not sure it's a clear improvement and the win would need to be pretty substantial to justify a breaking API change.

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like the rustdoc should be phrased as such then.

Sounds reasonable! Want to open a PR?
CertifiedKeyreads like "a key that is (somehow) certified", when we actually mean "a certificate together with the key(pair) used to sign it".Perhaps
CertificateWithKeywould be fine?
