Hi Full Name,

indeed, this is not possible. The ECC and EDD algorithm families always stick to one key size for any algorithm. You can't have your KSK and ZSK with different algorithms.

On the other hand, this is no big deal. Those algorithms are considered safe enough even with small keys, so you can choose just e.g. ECDSA256 and profit from having small signatures. You can also think of using single-type signing scheme.

Dne 28.11.18 v 22:58 Full Name napsal(a):
A policy section in knot.conf would contain (among other things) an algorithm 
specification and (optionally) the KSK and ZSK keys sizes. This works fine for 
RSA. Now imagine that I want to establish a policy with ECC keys for both KSKs 
and ZSKs. However, I might want for the KSKs to be 384-bit keys, and for the 
ZSKs to be 256-bit keys. Can a policy be created in Knot to do so? It would 
seem that, given that the algorithm specification for NIST elliptic curves 
includes both the curve and digest data, the key size specifications do not 
apply here - i.e. both KSKs and ZSKs will necessarily use the same curve, and 
therefore the same key size. Is this correct?
