--------------
* Keys are processed in a linear order, i.e., key #0, key #1, key #2.
* When a key is revoked, all remaining unrevoked keys can still be used to sign applications. For instance, if key #1 is revoked, keys such as key #0 and key #2 will remain valid for signing the application.
* Applications should be signed with only one key at a time, to minimize the exposure of unused private keys.
* The bootloader can be signed with multiple keys from the factory.

* A similar approach can also be used to physically re-flash with a new key. For physical re-flashing, the bootloader content can also be changed at the same time.
.. note::
It may be necessary to revoke a key that isn't currently being used.
For example, if the active application is signed with key #0, but key #1 becomes compromised, you should revoke key #1 by using the above approach. The new OTA update should continue to be signed with key #0, and the API `esp_ota_revoke_secure_boot_public_key(SECURE_BOOT_PUBLIC_KEY_INDEX_[N])` can be used to revoke the key #N (N would be 1 in this case). After revoking, all remaining unrevoked keys can still be used to sign future applications.
