Evaluate and decide over the following discrepancies between SPDX and Cyclone DX algorithms IDs #41

@toscalix

Description

@toscalix

Rationale

In order to keep as much compatibility as possibl;e between SPDX Cryptographic Algorithm List and the CycloneDX algorithms family, SPDX should revisit the following algorithms IDs and decide if:

  • we keep them as they are
  • we change them using the same ID that CycloneDX does
  • look for a way to include a second way to name the algorithm

Request

Evaluate the following IDs:

Some algorithms in CycloneDX are mapped to slightly different SPDX filenames:

  • CAST5/CAST6 → SPDX: cast.yaml
  • ChaCha/ChaCha20 → SPDX: chacha(salsa).yaml
  • FFDH → SPDX: diffiehellman.yaml
  • SHA-1 → SPDX: shs.yaml
  • SHA-2 → SPDX: shax.yaml
  • SHA-3 → SPDX: keccak.yaml Confirm this one!
  • SNOW3G → SPDX: snow.yaml

DoD

  • Discussion and decision about the IDs has been carried out:
    • cast
    • chacha(salsa)
    • diffiehellman
    • shs
    • shax
    • keccak
    • snow
  • List the PR that solve the discrepancies if changes need to be introduced to the algorithms IDs
  • Link to the rationale and the decisions taken if no changes are needed.
