The naming of this component is wrong. It should be
Zend_Pki_Certificate or Zend_Pki_Key or some such. The word "Crypt"
should be reserved for a generic crypto class and "Rsa" is just one
implementation of a symmetric algorithm.

Also as long as I'm on a rampage, I will say I'm not a big fan of OO
wrappers for the sake of OOP as if it is somehow inherently superior
to just using an existing set of functions. What functional benefit
does this API have over the builtin openssl API?
