Research direction

Start by reading the related issue #188 and locate the documentation section covering raw RSA keyrings. Add security considerations for multifactor RSA, local storage of raw keys, missing algorithm metadata for wrapping the data key, and missing authenticity; done means all four points are clearly documented.
