### Incorporate "My Keys" into main contact list

**Brief explanation:** Android's contact application has a section at the beginning of the list, where your own contact is shown. We could use this pattern for OpenKeychain. Instead of having a list with sections "A", "B", "C" ... and contacts beginning with this character, we could introduce a section at the beginning named "My Keys", where your own private keys are listed. In addition to the normal view of the list's item, a button should be displayed on the right side named "Edit". This button should open the EditKeyActivity. A normal click should still open the ViewKeyActivity. Your own keys now should not appear again in the other sections. The result means that "My Keys" screen (SecretKeyListActivity) is no longer necessary.
**Expected results:** Key list like in Android's contact app. Removal of "My Keys" screen.

### OpenPGP Certifications (also called key signatures)
**Brief explanation:** Currently OpenKeychain supports the certification of keys, but can't display them. The corresponding Fragment has already been added but is empty. Here a list should show all existing certifications. In OpenKeychain we like to save all information about keys in Android's SQLite database for easy and fast access via Content Providers. As this conflicts with the object-based model in the cryptography library Bouncy Castle, some helper methods are needed to solve this task. Eventually this idea could be executed together with the previous idea.
