That would be great to have. If you make it a sane non-SSH-specific API with a good suite of independent tests, i can imagine cryptoprimitive libraries organizing themselves to support it directly (so that they can be "OpenSSH-compatible"), which would be a win for everyone as well as a tempting place to add more good tests in the future. > Speaking only for myself, I don't really want to do any library- > specific porting until then. Understood, thanks.
