  • Implement the first step in using binary key IDs for asymmetric keys rather
    than hex string keys.

    The previously added match data preparsing will be able to convert hex
    criterion strings into binary which can then be compared more rapidly.

    Further, we actually want more then one ID string per public key. The problem
    is that X.509 certs refer to other X.509 certs by matching Issuer + AuthKeyId
    to Subject + SubjKeyId, but PKCS#7 messages match against X.509 Issuer +
    SerialNumber.

    This patch just provides facilities for a later patch to make use of.

  • 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.
