We need to verify that our key management command queue elements are properly signed. However, we have limited flash storage space and want to avoid dragging in a userspace library. Sub Swaminathan (on copy) has prototyped a solution using these patches. We'd very much like to see them applied. -- George Wilson IBM Linux Technology Center Security Development
