This document provides a set of standard Public Key Cryptography
(PKC) test keys that may be used wherever pre-generated keys and
associated operations like digital signatures are required.  Like the
European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR) virus test
and the Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email (GTUBE) spam test
files, these publicly known test keys can be detected and recognised
by applications consuming them as being purely for testing purposes
without assigning any security properties to them.
