Why are you trying to mix symmetric and asymmetric algorithms? If you want to
emulate PGP or a TLS that exchanges a symmetric key with an asymmetric
algorithm, then maybe we should define an API for that sort of crypto-system
as well... I don't think it would be hard.
That object could use instances of API-standards-adhering crypto classes.
Then that management object could be completely independant of underlying
crypto code.
