Nothing is ever set in stone that hard. Sorry they wrote scripts for it. All apologies they decided to use Elmer's glue instead of high tensile strength super carbon based cement. They will just have to amend those temp scripts with some test cases or you can write a compatibility shim with an e

Dear Team, I am using RSASHA1 key generation algorithm for generating the KSK and ZSK. Today, I tried to generate the algorithm using RSASHA512 and HMAC-SHA256 algorithm. Key generation through RSASHA512 algorithm run successfully but while generating the keys through HMAC-SHA512 algorithm
