The algorithm name decomposer implementation for algorithm restrictions
depends on the pattern:

Using the same "encryption" name for signature and PKCS#1 could be
easier for applications if there is a need to decompose the algorithms.
Hmm, so do you mean this is a problem if you specify the signature
algorithm as "RSA-PSS" and require that the digest algorithm be
specified as a parameter to the API? Or something else? Not sure I
understand you but I have a feeling you are raising a good point ...

SHA1withRSA-PSS
I see Bouncy Castle[1] and Android[2] are both using:
SHA*withRSA/PSS
RSASSA-PSS (name from PKCS#1)

[2] https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/Signature.html
but we have neither style.
Since these standard names have not yet been defined, we don't
necessarily have to be consistent, but I don't see a good enough
reason for us to name them differently, so to help with compatibility
I would go with the names above.
