This section describes the elliptic curves and key specifications which are currently supported by the API. Supported curves and key specs are defined with a type
of either or symmetric
or asymmetric.
Certain symmetric
keys support key derivation (i.e., such as the ChaCha20
stream cipher). Other key specs, such as RSA, are provided for convenience and to achieve table-stakes feature-parity with industry-standard key management solutions such as AWS Key Management Service, Azure Key Vault, Hashicorp Vault, etc.
