In this implementation of peer, it appears the constructor allows undefined public key and private key, is this meant to be allowed, or is peer id only useful if both pub and priv keys are available?

Research direction
Start by inspecting the peer constructor and the representation of peer IDs to determine whether public and private keys may be absent and what operations require them. Document the intended key requirements and peer ID behavior, with the relevant tests updated or added if the project has coverage for this constructor.
