NAK.  This is liable to crash in future.  You may not assume that you know
what keyring->payload.data[asym_crypto] points to.

You may not use struct public_key outside of crypto/asymmetric_key/.  It's the
internal data of the software subtype.  I'll move it out of the global header
to remove the temptation;-).

You must use accessor functions such as verify_signature().  Feel free to add
further accessor functions such as query_asym_capabilities(),
create_signature(), encrypt_blob() and decrypt_blob() or something like that.
