We will continue to support the current encoding for simple cases.
-All subject derivation starts by making a hash of the key and metadata as follow:
-
-- SHA-512("RESERVE:ECDSA" + raw key bytes)
-- SHA-512("KYC:SLH-DSA" + raw key bytes)
-
-TODO do we really nead SHA-512. Why not SHA-256 as we will never be able to fit all this entropy.
+All subject derivation starts by making a hash of the key using SHA 256.
Then the hash bits are encoded differently for each subject format:
