It would make sense to define some probe points for generic crypto operations, in a protocol agnostic way, for example:

  • pk::sign, pk::encrypt, pk::decrypt, aead::encrypt, aead::decrypt context names
  • hash::algorithm, pk::algorithm, pk::key_size, aead::algorithm events

Maybe we could use OID for *::algorithm events if it is not too much burden to parse.

Some PQC algorithms don't yet have OIDs, and maybe some of them (think NTRU Prime in OpenSSH) might not get them soon, either. On the other hand, I also don't have a better suggestion other than implementation-defined strings, which might be even worse.
