The initial implementation was based on the Window sample, which uses NCrypt for RSA keys. However, we were not using NCrypt for key storage (just using ephemeral key handles), and we needed to specify the curves for the ECDSA algorithms anyway. Because of that, we did not have any advantage using NCrypt, so this switches to BCrypt for a slightly simpler API and ECDSA support.
