Tom,

        The intent is to add not individual algorithms to the list of
those fir use with PEM, but rather suites of algorithms, to avoid the
incopmpatability that could arise from the large number of
combinations that would arise from having a "Chineese menu" of
algorith options.  I don't say this to discourage your question, or
experimentation with various algorithms, but rather to note that
piecemeal addition of algorithms to PEM is not in keeping with the
standards (see text in RFC 1423).
