DS8K - HMC must support at least 4096-bit RSA keys

    German BSI:

    key pairs for the signature of certificates must comply with the recommendations in Part 1 of this Technical Guideline (see [TR-02102-1]).
    3.6.1Key lengths
    It is recommended to use at least the following key lengths:
    RSA 2000 bits use up to 2022 (3)
    3000 bits from 2023 up to 2029+
    (3) These are the recommended periods of use.
    As an interim arrangement, the usage of RSA keys of length at least 2000 bits will however remain compliant with this Technical Guideline through 2023.
