Don't you also need to amend software_key_query()? In the "issig" case, it calculates len = crypto_sig_maxsize(sig), which is 72 bytes for P521, then further below calculates "info->max_sig_size = 2 * (len + 3) + 2;"
I believe the ASN.1 encoded integers are just 66 bytes instead of 72, so info->max_sig_size is 6 bytes too large. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Lukas
