Wireguard Key
Anyone,

In my effort to understand Wireguard, I noticed something. The Wireguard Key for tunnels are 132 characters long; why so long. It is my understanding Wireguard Keys are 44 characters long. It seems there are three keys concatenated in the tunnel key. Why, and what are the three keys used for?

From the lead AREDN dev:

The keys we exchange contain two public keys and a private key - doesn't really compare to wg genkey which just makes a private key
