Rename OctetSequenceKey to SymmetricKey
Issue #24
resolved
JPSK uses the term "symmetric key" which also seems to be the established name for shared keys:

The trouble is that the draft uses the parameter keytype "Octet Sequence". I like the name "Symmetric Key" better as well, but I wanted to be parallel to what was in the document. Either way is ultimately fine with me.

reporter Symmetric Key is easier to recognise what it means. But now I realise that people may use that field to store things like passwords.
I need to sleep over that :)
