Cryptographic private key material is sometimes embedded within an OpenPGP framing format that also contains the certificate: transferable secret keys (TSK). +In certain cases, an exception arises where the cryptographic private key material is integrated into the same OpenPGP framing format as the certificate. This is specifically done in the context of transferable secret keys (TSKs). ## Transferable secret key format
