The SPEC itself, doesn't define the timeout,  except for specific commands, 
also the current 'undefined' number is born in air, I wonder if you  can provide the reference as well.
If I would suggest to shorten the number that would maybe a problem for other implementation, 
but I don't see how the increase in timeout is adverse another implementations.
Key generation is computational intensive task because of generation of a prime number, so this is really 
dependent on device capabilities, so there is no better source of definition that HW itself.

Thanks
Tomas
