Description

In SecPublicInfoSqlite3, the type of key is already saved along with the key DER. This allows it to distinguish an RSA key from another public key algorithm such as elliptic curve.

It seems that the SecPublicInfo API needs to have getPublicKeyType(keyName) so that KeyChain::sign can use the keyName do determine whether to create a SignatureSha256WithRsa or other type of signature.
