Consider improving PKI packet visibility in logs:

  • even when payload decryption is not possible, PKI packets are still useful operational evidence
  • instead of only surfacing them as generic unknown_encrypted (we're currently not doing even that), consider a dedicated PKI-oriented log kind
  • possible shape:
    • PKI
    • or PKI_%type% if some outer classification is possible without payload decryption
  • minimum useful metadata:
    • sender
    • destination
    • packet id
    • topic / gateway
    • encrypted / decrypted flags
    • pki_encrypted

Note: should avoid even trying to decrypt PK encrypted part when processing. May record payload size though.
