What algorithms are available for creating symmetric encryption keys? For asymmetric encryption keys (i.e., key pairs)?
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The KMIP specification supports a wide variety of symmetric and asymmetric
|
|
key algorithms. Support for these algorithms, including corresponding key
|
|
lengths, will vary across different KMIP-compliant devices, so check with
|
|
your KMIP vendor or with your appliance documentation to determine which
|
|
ones are available.
|
|
|
|
For a full list of the cryptographic algorithms supported by the KMIP
|
|
specification, see :term:`cryptographic_algorithm`. The following algorithms
|
|
are supported by the PyKMIP server.
