Description
https://www.sogis.eu/documents/cc/crypto/SOGIS-Agreed-Cryptographic-Mechanisms-1.2.pdf specifies that only RSA keys may be used for asymmetric encryption.
The node currently has code support for RSA and EC, but uses EC by default. There's no option to create RSA keys via the API.
This option should be added so parties can generate RSA encryption keys when required to conform to SOGIS (and others)

Research direction
Start by locating the API path that generates encryption keys and review the existing RSA and EC support. Add a way for callers to select RSA when generating encryption keys, then verify that the API can produce RSA keys for SOGIS-conforming use.
