This addition to the style guide looks good to me. Please make this small change.

| *Description*: A _key pair_ is two mathematically linked cryptographic keys: a public key that can be shared and a private key that must be kept secret. The public key encrypts data or verifies signatures, and the private key decrypts data or creates signatures. This pairing is the basis of public-key cryptography used in systems like SSH and TLS/SSL. |

"is" is not the correct verb here because the predicate is plural, even though the subject is singular. How about this instead?

This entry is not building correctly. Perhaps you need to remove the triangular bracket < ?

Adding a new term: key pair. I've had to use it more than once and I've seen it spelled as two words and one and I can never remember which is correct. Not addressed in IBMSG.
No need to add if folks think it's unnecessary.
