### 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.
