Summary
As we make Sigstore ecosystem more crypto agile, we need various parts to know what they are dealing with. For example, one may want to get information about the hash function to be used with a public key of a given type. Clients may want to enforce some signing algorithms and need to know which hash/options to use for a particular key or for a specific signing algorithm.
For now, I see this being used in fulcio to associate a hash function to a given public key.
