From 964f3b3bf49eb84b5831121446a28b76de3fb23a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:17:21 +0100 Subject: KEYS: Implement asymmetric key type Create a key type that can be used to represent an asymmetric key type for use in appropriate cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, signature generation and signature verification. The key type is "asymmetric" and can provide access to a variety of cryptographic algorithms. Possibly, this would be better as "public_key" - but that has the disadvantage that "public key" is an overloaded term.
