+ Short for "pseudonym," a nym is a fictitious name that can refer
+ to an entity without using any of its directly identifiable
+ characteristics, such as name, location, etc. OpenPrivacy uses
+ public-key pairs to represent a nym, with the owner having sole
+ access to the private part and the public part being published
+ to at least one external party. Often, we refer to the public
+ key as the "nym," as it is how the entity is know in the outside
+ world.
