/Crypto/GetAlgorithms

Allows the client to retrieve a list of available cryptographic algorithms on the server. These algorithms can be used to create keys. These keys are necessary in order to apply for legal identities, which are then used to sign smart contracts.

Response Parameters

Parameter	Description
`PLocalName`	Local Name of the algorithm.
`PNamespace`	Namespace, defining the algorithm.
`PSecurityStrength`	Security strength of algorithm (in bits).
`PSafe`	If the algorithm is considered safe according to https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/.
`PSlow`	If the algorithm is slow (i.e. computation intensive).
`PScore`	Algorithm score. Can be used, together with `PSecurityStrength` to order algorithms.
