 * @brief This module encapsulates information about the types of available signing algorithms.
 *
 * Both asymmetric digital signature algorithms, e.g., RSA and DSA, and symmetric Message Authentication
 * Codes (MACS), e.g., HMAC, are supported. This module exposes the functionality necessary to map between
 * enum and human-readable string representations of these algorithms.
