Here's my idea.
The Kerberos protocol used to have the notion of key types and
encryption types as distinct entities....
A simple solution is to have the etype array have an element which
identifies, for internal uses, the cryptosystem.
This is a good idea; we should do it after beta-7. I think Ezra and I
(or was it Sam or Richard?) had mentioned doing something like this, in
private conversations/e-mail. In any case, it is the obvious thing to
do, and we should do it.
