statistics example should count ECDH KDF parameters
ECDH public keys have a set of KDF parameters in their public key data.
It's defined as:
- one octet of size (typically 3)
- one octet of KDF version (only 1 is defined)
- one octet of digest algo identifier (for the KDF)
- one octet of symmetric cipher identifier (for the KEK)
it would be good if openpgp/examples/statistics.rs would count the variety of different KDF parameters encountered in a keydump.
The simplest thing would be:
- as a denominator, accumulate the number of ECDH keys
- transform the KDF parameters field into a string (e.g.
4_1_SHA256_AES128for a comprehensible form, or5_1_SHA256_AES128_0x03if there is a mysterious trailing 0x03 octet, or4_2_0x0807for an unknown version) - count the number of each string in the dataset.
- sort the strings by most popular.
This would help to answer questions like those raised on openpgp-wg/rfc4880bis!160 (closed)
