iRule CRYPTO appears to be symmetric, not asymmetric. What you are asking really should be done by the app using encrypt and signature. However, if you really wanted to do it, you could probably use a sideband connection to a crypto as a service type app. Of course you'd need to create such a service as well.

 

I'm not sure why SSL doesn't solve this for you in general. If you are worried about integrity of the connection, doing strict validations of server cert as well as requiring client authentication on the server side would make more sense to me.
