Description

Some users receive instructions which do not mention ECDH, thus they wonder whether they should remove the check mark for ECDH. Obviously this leads to an non-encryption capable key.

To help them I suggest to add a tooltip here.

If the user unselects + ECDH, then the checkmark before Encryption under Certificate Usage is removed. I'm not sure whether adding a tooltip would help if they don't notice this.

In my opinion, people who wonder about the technical details shouldn't be allowed to edit the technical details in the first place.

I have added tooltips to the + ECDH and the + Elgamal checkboxes. Hope this helps.
