[Defect]: Missing algorithm families used in the context of Asymmetric Key Pair Generation

[meghsaha-ibm]

Describe the defect

The algorithm families used in the context of Asymmetric Key Pair Generation are missing in the Cryptography Registry.

• RSA KeyGen
• DSA KeyGen
• ECDSA KeyGen
• EdDSA KeyGen
• ECDH KeyGen
• Safe Primes Key Generation

There is the cryptoFunctions field that should be used for that purpose, I think. Having this duplicated in the Cryptography Registry seems counterproductive to me.

However, what is missing in cryptoFunctions is (DSA) pqggen and pqgver as well as (DSA / ECDSA / EdDSA) keyver

That’s correct, functions like KeyGen belong in cryptoFunctions, while the algorithm names encode the specific parameter sets.

I agree, thanks for adding this in #841 .
