Limited usefulness of RSA set key function

Hi Tadeusz, I have been working with the AF_ALG patches for akcipher lately and I find the RSA set key function way too limited. Especially the fact that it uses a format that I can not find a single reference / standard for worries me. RsaKey ::= SEQUENCE { n INTEGER ({ rsa_get_n }),
