[Cryptlib] Support for in-memory keysets

[Peter Gutmann]

cryptlib currently opens keysets as disk files, but I've had a request from
someone for an in-memory equivalent, which takes the file-based:

cryptKeysetOpen( &keyset, CRYPT_UNUSED, CRYPT_KEYSET_FILE, filename, CRYPT_KEYOPT_xxx );

and turns it into:

cryptOpenMemKeyset( &keyset, CRYPT_UNUSED, buffer, bufferSize, CRYPT_KEYOPT_xxx );

Would there be any general demand for this? I'm trying to gauge whether it's
worth adding as a standard API feature, are there people who would
specifically need this (rather than just "it sounds like a good idea to add
it")?

Peter.

I am interested. :) I have missed this possibility.

Unfortunately you're the only person so far who's expressed an interest in it,
and given that it requires a change to the API to implement it's not going to
be worth it. In other words the general interest seems to be generally
lacking :-).

Peter.

I will stay optimistic, maybe someone else concludes that it will be helpful.

I would very much like this to be a part of the cryptlib API.
