Hi Paul,

Actually, if you look at my previous email, these two little helpers turned
out to work fine for me:
from cryptography.utils import (
int_from_bytes,
int_to_bytes,
)

I didn't mean to say I wanted to add a CNG backend. I meant adding
conversion functions for P1363 encoding to easy compatibility with a peer
that's CNG based. Here are the three things I'd be willing to work on:
1. transform from ASN.1 (DER) to P1363
2. transform from P1363 to ASN.1 (DER)
3. equivalent to "EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.from_encoded_point()", but for
private numbers (to load private keys encoded as X, Y and d values in
big-endian octet streams).
Cheers,
André
