If you encrypt and sign the key gives you a list of hash algorithms supported by the recipient. Only those may be used. In a signature only case there is no point in an using extravagant hash algorithm because most recipients won't be able to verify such a signature. We have a lot of experience in how to deploy new algorithms and we are very conservative here. My request for adding SHA3 algo ids does not mean in any way that I endorse its use or would even suggest that 4880bis should contain a SHOULD or MAY for implementing such an algorithm. When we come to the point on deciding on algorithms I would suggest something like this: - Implementations MUST implement SHA-1. Implementations MAY implement - other algorithms. MD5 is deprecated. + Implementations MUST implement SHA-1 and SHA2-FIXME. Implementations + MUST NOT implement MD5. Implementations SHOULD NOT implement + SHA3-xxxx. Implementations MAY implement other algorithms. The algo ids are a different case and I would be fine with the RFC-7120 method. Iff the unexpected case happens that a severe weakness in SHA2 is found, the pre-allocated SHA3 ids will allow us to quickly switch to SHA3. Isn't that the whole point of SHA3 being plugin-in replacements for SHA2? I suggest to use a different thread for discussing algorithm selection because that is a different topic than assigning algorithm ids. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
