When this option is enabled and we aren't running as a server, Tor
skips the public key step for the first hop of creating circuits. This is
safe since we have already used TLS to authenticate the server and to
establish forward-secure keys. Turning this option off makes circuit
building slower.
When this option is disabled, Tor uses the public key step for the first
hop of creating circuits. Skipping it is generally safe since we have
already used TLS to authenticate the relay and to establish forward-secure
keys. Turning this option off makes circuit building slower.
Note that Tor will always use the public key step for the first hop if
it's operating as a relay, and it will never use the public key step if
it doesn't yet know the onion key of the first hop.
