+ Add support for ISO oids 1.3.14.3.2.29 and 1.3.14.3.2.27
+ that are somtimes used instead of the PKCS defined oids
+ 1.2.840.113549.1.1.5 and 1.2.840.10040.4.3. Add function
+ pkix_sign_types:/1 that translates oids to to algorithm
+ atoms ex:</p>
+ <p>
+ > public_key:pkix_sign_types({1,3,14,3,2,29}). {sha,rsa}</p>

+ Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
+ Schultz </p>
+ <p>
+ In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
+ suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
+ infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
+ <p>
+ This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
+ gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
+ applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
+ API.</p>
+ <p>
+ Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
+ equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
+ public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
+ savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
+ cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
+ environments.</p>
