Now this commit requires to check *both* the diff and the source file to get the full understanding what is going on. /Jarkko

I don't know if this is still the standard. David

I left off development of it when the tpm stuff I wrote broke because the tpm2 stuff went in upstream. I then handed the patches off to Denis who did the tpm support, but I never got my stuff finished enough to work out how to do the testsuite (since it would involve using a tpm). However, since I did the PKCS#8 testing module as well, I guess I don't need that to at least test the API. I'll look at using that to add some tests. Any suggestions as to how to do testing via the tpm? David

Knowledge of crypto/asymmetric_keys. 2. How asym_tpm.c is implemented. I only became aware of asym_tpm.c's existence last Sep [*]. I'll put to my backlog to try TPM asymmetric keys (earliest when I'm back from vacation 08/10).
