 To understand device IDs we need to look at the underlying mechanisms. At first
 startup, Syncthing will create a public/private keypair.
 
-Currently this is a 384 bit ECDSA key (3072 bit RSA prior to v0.12.5,
-which is what is used as an example in this article). The keys are saved in
-the form of the private key (``key.pem``) and a self signed certificate
-(``cert.pem``). The self signing part doesn't actually add any security or
-functionality as far as Syncthing is concerned but it enables the use of the
-keys in a standard TLS exchange.

 The typical certificate will look something like this, inspected with
 ``openssl x509``::
