Mining even does not have anything to do with asymmetric cryptography (which is in case of bitcoin ECDSA). In all, mining is quite orthogonal to how the whole protocol works, it is just some computation that satisfies that it could be somehow tied to block contents, it's difficulty can be tuned and it's result can be quickly verified.
