This is liable to crash in future. You may not assume that you know what keyring->payload.data[asym_crypto] points to. You may not use struct public_key outside of crypto/asymmetric_key/. It's the internal data of the software subtype. I'll move it out of the global header to remove the temptation;-). You must use accessor functions such as verify_signature(). Feel free to add further accessor functions such as query_asym_capabilities(), create_signature(), encrypt_blob() and decrypt_blob() or something like that.
