Hello Ghadi, thank you for the patch. The feature sounds reasonable, though I wonder if the original problem could be solved by extending `gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_get_pk_algorithm` to return a curve embedded in the `bits` parameter. As `gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t` holds an object handle, it should be possible to retrieve any attributes on the private key object (currently the `bits` field of `gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t` is set only when the key type is RSA, which could be modified to handle other key types as well). What do you think?

If you end up with adding a new API, follow the guidance at https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md?ref_type=heads#introducing-new-functions--api.
