say otherwise, and, when one tries to deal with either of the EdDSA algorithms
under knot 3.1 with softhsm, it does not work.

> I notice that knot 3.1 does not support EdDSA (22519 and 448) when using
softhsm as a PKCS #11 backend. Since this is supported by knot when using the
default cryptographic provider, and also by gnutls 3.6.0 (at least for the 25519
version) for release 3.6.0 and later, my guess is that this a limitation in
softhsm itself. Could anybody in this forum with the necessary savvy please
confirm (or not) this?
