Request for advice: implementing non-standard signing and encryption algorithms

[fredericoschardong]

Hello,

I beg your pardon if this is not the right place for this question.

I want to modify pyoidc and pyjwkest to evaluate non-standard signing and encryption algorithms. The objective is to evaluate some performance metrics when compared to RSA/EC. So I guess my question is actually kind of a request for advice.

1. Do you think this effort is more than adding the algorithms to pyjwkest and changing names in pyoidc?
2. Do you have any general advice?

You probably need to add your code to a derived KeyJar class (https://github.com/OpenIDC/pyoidc/blob/master/src/oic/utils/keyio.py) and pass that to your client & provider and add a few names here and there.

But it should be mostly not too hard.
