Re: Proposal for adding setpubkey callback to akcipher_alg

Hi Herbert, We already have an interface that can handle asymmetric keys and it is easy to extend with new key formats and key types. So lets use that. I can clearly see that after RSA, we get DSA, ECDH etc. So having a simple way to handle these key formats is a good idea. That
