Thanks, you have clarified this to me. However isn't there a very small 
chance (of course negligible) that 2 users will generate the same 
keypair? After all a key is just a computer generated number and each 
key is independently generated by each user.

Anyway, now  know I have to use the public key as the keyID or a hash of 
it, thanks.
