This would be useful to build CLIs because the password could be configured as a function that would prompt the user.

The only downside is that compose and decompose would have to return Promises.

Support JWK and JWE keys.

Add support for elliptic curve keys, such as secp256k1.

To do this properly, we need to support EC keys in the following formats: pkcs8-der, pkcs8-pem, raw-der and raw-pem. The raw formats is simply the ECPrivateKey and ECPublicKeys in DER + PEM, similar to PKCS1. Actually, PKCS1 can be aliased to raw with just some extra checks (accept only RSA keys).

Those parameters in PrivateKeyAlgorithm are used for RSA-OAEP, RSA-PSS and other types. It would be awesome if we decoded/encoded them as well. The thing is that I couldn't find any RSA key in the wild other than rsaEncryption.

At the moment, one cannot choose which formats and algorithms are included, meaning that the bundle size might be larger than necessary in case you just use a few.

Explore a way to lazy-load algorithms on demand. There are two few solutions to this: implicit/manual loading and automatic loading. I would like to explore automatic loading using dynamic imports because it's transparent and will generate different chunks when using tools like webpack.

This would be useful in the idm-wallet.

PKCS12 defines a few more algorithms besides the ones defined in PKCS5. These algorithms are being used by some tools, such as OpenSSL, to encrypt private keys upon generation.
