Compact Composite keys format #109

Closed johngray-dev closed 7 months ago

johngray-dev commented 10 months ago

Use a more compact keys format by removing redundancy which makes implementations a bit more difficult, but probably removes some more edge scenarios Tim is worried about.

Today we use: subjectPublicKeyInfo ::= { algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
subjectPublicKey CompositeKey, }

We want to change CompositeKey to the following:

CompositeKey ::= SEQUENCE OF OCTET STRING

instead of SEQUENCE of SubjectPublicKeyInfo... So redundent subjectPublicKeyInfo information is now removed.
