I was trying to use https://github.com/wbond/certvalidator to verify chains that contain X.509 certificates signed with ED448 and ED25519 and this seems to be a pre-requisite to let certverfier work with them.

I fully understand we should provide this in other backends as well, but we have to start somewhere.

While I appreciate the time in trying to contribute, I don't think this makes sense to add to oscrypto.

The reason being that I don't see support for it from the Windows or macOS cryptography libraries. What that means is that this will be OpenSSL only. If you want to be OpenSSL only, you might as well use the cryptography library.

The remaining bit would be to create a way to plugin a shim in so certvalidator can use third-party cryptography libraries.
