    X.509: parse public key parameters from x509 for akcipher · f1774cb8
    Vitaly Chikunov authored
    Some public key algorithms (like EC-DSA) keep in parameters field
    important data such as digest and curve OIDs (possibly more for
    different EC-DSA variants). Thus, just setting a public key (as
    for RSA) is not enough.
    
    Append parameters into the key stream for akcipher_set_{pub,priv}_key.
    Appended data is: (u32) algo OID, (u32) parameters length, parameters
    data.
    
    This does not affect current akcipher API nor RSA ciphers (they could
    ignore it). Idea of appending parameters to the key stream is by Herbert
    Xu.
