Description

The following public key codecs don't have a private key counterpart:

  • ed448-pub
  • x448-pub
  • mlkem-512-pub
  • mlkem-768-pub
  • mlkem-1024-pub
  • jwk_jcs-pub

I see that the process to add codecs for the -priv versions of these would be to create a PR -- just wondering how to ensure I don't propose codec values that would collide with other PRs?

Thanks!

Apropos: the ed448-pub and x448-pub codecs were added here, but not the corresponding -priv codecs: https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec/pull/190
