Hi Roberto, Sorry for the delay in reviewing these patches. Missing from this patch set is a cover letter with an explanation for grouping these patches into a patch set, other than for convenience. In this case, it would be along the lines that the original use case for EVM portable and immutable keys support was for a few critical files, not combined with an EVM encrypted key type. This patch set more fully integrates the initial EVM portable and immutable signature support.
