I don't really have the crypto chops to do anything more than a
superficial review here, so just a couple of pieces of feedback:

Should Key be a dictionary rather than an interface?

Same question for KeyAlgorithm and anything that derives from it. It
looks like these interfaces just provides a bunch of properties.
Unless it also stores internal data (?) it looks like this would be
better done as a dictionary.

The fact that KeyAlgorithm is a [NoInterfaceObject] further indicates this.
