Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Returning null instead of throwing an exception when a non-RSA key is processed can lead to signature verification bypasses in calling applications that do not strictly check for null keys.

Cryptographic Issues: Improperly parsing coordinate BigIntegers as signed values during ECPoint construction can distort cryptographic points, resulting in calculation failures or unexpected key parsing behaviors.
