No, I am not mixing things: the user might want a specific engine and a
strength/step-size. All of this is what the user requests.
In the ECC logic, I need to make a choice: I really need to check
what the user request is in order to choose the provider. I am not
changing anything here, just reading.
Later the chosen ECC engine will be prompted to create a context with
the rest of the user configuration.
I don't think it is relevant here to split this structure.
