xmlsec-crypto libraries are used to do actual crypto operations thus
the answer is obviously "no".

xmlSecKeyDataFormatBinary format is used for symmetric keys only.

Since you have your own crypto library, it might be worth it to create
your own xmlsec-streamsec. This way you will have no need to convert
keys from StreamSec memory representation to mscrypto (or any other
crypto lib) memory representation.
