+Recipients file can't have 32-bit keyids (e.g.  DEADBEEF or DECAF123).  These

+possible 32-bit keyid.  The search space just isn't big enough.

+If you're going to specify keys by keyid, they should be specified by full
+160-bit OpenPGP fingerprint.  It would be very bad if someone spoofed a keyID
+and caused another participant in a keyringer instance to reencrypt a secret
+store to the spoofed key in addition to your own.
