 ### Key Types
 
-Four key types are supported:
+The following key types are supported:
  - RSA
  - Ed25519
  - Secp256k1
  - ECDSA
+ - PKIX Encoded Public Keys
+ - PKCS#8 Encoded Private Keys
 
 Implementations MUST support Ed25519. Implementations SHOULD support RSA if they wish to
 interoperate with the mainline IPFS DHT and the default IPFS bootstrap nodes. Implementations MAY

+#### PKIX Public Keys
+
+The PKIX key type only encodes public keys. The Data field is the [PKIX
+encoding](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5280) of the public key. The public
+key and algorithm are identified by the [Subject Public Key
+Info](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5280#section-4.1.2.7) field.
+
+Signature Verification is defined by the key algorithm used.
+
+#### PKCS#8 Private Keys
+
+The PKCS8 key type only encodes private keys. The Data field is the [PKCS#8 encoding](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5958.html) of the private key.
+
+Signing is defined by the key algorithm used.

 ### Test vectors
 
 The following test vectors are hex-encoded bytes of the above described protobuf encoding.
