Submitter's message As discussed in the TC meeting on 12th Jan, corresponding KMIP changes to mirror the PKCS#11 v3.2 approach to handling SEED as an optional private key format for ML-KEM and ML-DSA.
The structure is defined in an algorithm agnostic manner and is usable for all algorithms that have a seed and a defined byte string serialisation and simply need to support clear delineation between the seed and the private key material.
The same recommendation of using "both" for maximum interoperability between implementations is included.
SLH-DSA does not require this approach as its private key format is explicitly seeds and prf values.
Updated test cases showing the use of the new key format type will be provided as I complete some test case updates.
