Feature #22200: Support ECC keys
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22200

* Author: Andrew Parker
* Status: Accepted
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
* Affected Puppet version: 
* Keywords: encryption rsa security
* Branch: 
----------------------------------------
Right now Puppet is hard coded to only use RSA keys when dealing with 
certificates. RSA is getting a little long in the tooth, and although it has 
not been compromised, there are newer algorithms that are not as susceptible to 
attacks that have been developed.

OpenSSL supports ECC in addition to RSA. Puppet should become configurable to 
be able to use ECC for generating keys. This feature should be configurable 
since not all OpenSSL releases that puppet may be used on are going to have 
this available.
