Do we have any expectation that this would be used or are we doing it for completeness?
Most small IoT devices are going to go with one algorithm and skip the concept of algorithm agility. This means that they are going to select algorithms based on: 1. How much RAM/ROM is needed? 2. How much energy is needed for computation? 3. What is the output size of the result? 4. How paranoid am I about this algorithm and the US government? I do not currently believe that they are going to care about quantum computers and the fact that EC goes to pot when they show up. Is there another environment where we think it is going to be used?

This addresses COSE Issue #21 <https://github.com/cose-wg/cose-issues/issues/21> : Restore RSA-PSS and the "RSA" key type. The initial version of this specification incorporates text from draft-ietf-cose-msg-05 - the last COSE message specification version before the RSA algorithms were removed. The specification is available at: * https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-cose-rsa-00 An HTML-formatted version is also available at: * http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-cose-rsa-00.html -- Mike P.S.
