## _classifyKeySize

_classifyKeySize(reportError, config, keyType, keySize, node)

Function to classify a key and report an error if insufficient.

reportError (func)
  function to be used to report errors
config (dict)
  dictionary with configuration data
keyType (str)
  type of key to be classified ('DSA', 'RSA', 'EC')
keySize (int)
  size of the key to be classified
node (ast.Call)
  node the key was extracted from (needed for reporting)

Returns:
  flag indicating an error was reported

Return Type:
  bool

Up
