zSecure - add key type to default alert 1617

It would be great if the default alert 1617 can be enhanced t include as well the master key type that has been changed. Currently the alert only reports a generic message that 'a' new master key was installed but one has then to lookup the details in the system about the type (AES,DES,RSA,ECC,EP11), it would be great if that can be added to the default alert just out of the box.
