Is alternative crypto backend considered?

[pemensik]

I have attempted to create RPM package of this library. One issue has arisen with tsig and validate features using ring library. That library does not compile on some less common architectures like ppc64le and s390x, there is a bug on that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1869980

It would help if crypto features could be fulfilled by some alternatives. Were they considered already?

I had considered alternative backends for the sign module but not for tsig and validate (because ring had everything I needed). But I agree, those two should also be generic over the crypto backend.

How urgent is support for those alternative platforms for you? I would prefer not to delay the 0.8 release further with additional features but obviously, this is a breaking change, so would then require 0.9.

There is no hurry, waiting until version 0.9 is completely fine to me
