Hello Sequoia Developers,
I was trying out Sequoia PGP and noticed it only supports RSA and ED25519 / Curve25519 asymmetric algorithms for now.
Are there any plans to support other asymmetric algorithms used by other countries such as Brainpool, Camellia, etc?
I ask because Justus mentioned countries like Germany like using Brainpool and was wondering if the Sequoia Developers were interested in
adding support for such algorithms for that reason?
If not how come?
I thank the developers in advance for any responses!
Best,
Tanveer Salim

The set of algorithms that are supported depends on the cryptographic library that you use. You can see which backends support which cryptographic algorithms here:
