Sandrine Bailleux 316c5cc6a2 Update cryptographic algorithms in TBBR doc
The TBBR documentation has been written along with an early
implementation of the code. At that time, the range of supported
encryption and hash algorithms was failry limited. Since then, support
for other algorithms has been added in TF-A but the documentation has
not been updated.

Instead of listing them all, which would clutter this document while
still leaving it at risk of going stale in the future, remove specific
references to the original algorithms and point the reader at the
relevant comprehensive document for further details.

Trusted Firmware-A
==================

Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software
for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception
Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for
productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32
or AArch64 execution states.

TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:

-  `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
-  `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
-  `SMC Calling Convention`_
-  `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
-  `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_

The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and
software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.

In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A
with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.

Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
