I'd like to confirm exactly what you suggested here:

Is this ("as much as possible") true? I wonder how it should be achieved.

As far as my RSA test approach above is concerned,
1) If UT_TEST is enabled, UT_LIB and then UT_LIB_ASN1 are also
   enabled *by default* and expected to be run automatically through
   Travis's sandbox build with test/py even if, say, X509_CERTIRFFICATE_PARSER
   is *not* enabled in any of sandbox_*_defconfig.
   Is this approach is OK for you?

Or,
2) Should we add ASYMMETRIC_*/X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER/PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER
   to one (or all) of sandbox_*_defconfig (even though there is no explicit
   user of these features before my secure boot patch will be merged)?
Or,
3) Should we create a new sandbox_*_defconfig for any further tests?
Or,
4) Would we better set ASYMMETRIC_*/X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER/PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER
   enabled by default on Sandbox? I mean,
=== 8< ===
menuconfig ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
	bool "Asymmetric (public-key cryptographic) key Support"
	default y if SANDBOX	<== added

if ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
...
config X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER
        bool "RSA public key parser"
        depends on ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE
	default y if SANDBOX	<== added
...

Are you talking about this patch set(asn1 parsers) or is this your
general comment on my overall "UEFI secure boot" patch?

Please note that my secure boot patch is architecture agnostic and  will
perfectly work on Sandbox and all the related py tests will also be done
on Sandbox.

Thanks,
