There isn't one. I'd like to add one at some point, but it involves a
lot of work to make a framework which is both capable of managing client
requests and non-obtrusive to the calling app.
Also, since most calling apps only need client side support, the
server-side stuff should be separable from the main library in order to
keep it lean.

Nod. RSA/DSA keys only need support for ASN.1 integers, so parsing
those out of DER packets once you've stripped the base64 encoding
becomes relatively trivial (I say relatively, because it *IS* a fussy
little spec).
