I need to create a Jose JWK from the public part of a private key in a
PEVP_PKEY, with 1.1.0.
I've done it using the old struct rsa_st from 1.0.2 and
EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA, and then converting the n and e BIGNUMs to binary
(and then to Base64Url).
This still works in 1.1.0 although rsa_st has more stuff after n and e,
but obviously is not ideal. I've not yet found any helpers for getting
n and e any other way.
Is there a better way to build a JWK?
Now need to handle elliptic curve keys as well.
