If userspace has the right privileges, then no. The X server is an
example of this.

Devices don't care if memory belongs to user or k

It seems tha
Would it be possible to add raw RSA authentication to OpenVPN, like
Openswan has for IPSEC?
Openswan automatically generates a private key in the format:
#pubkey=0sAQOdODm...Yog5rTj3V2AsI/
Modulus: 0x9d38399...9ad38f757602c23f
PublicExponent: 0x03
# everything after this point is secret
PrivateEx
