Can you please send me the details of EXACTLY what kind of jar signing needs to be done to get the RSA stuff working? I dug/googled a bit but could not find the details. Here's the relevant pointer: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jce/HowToImplAJCEProvider .html Basically

Scott, Berin, Was reviewing the codeQuestion - If we write a class that extends SignatureAlgorithm (see SignatureBaseRSA$SignatureRSASHA1 for example, we should be able to use the NativeJCE jar without having to sign it first). Right? Has anyone looked in the Claymore stuff?

You're saying you need Linux support from PKCS11 hardware devices, and haven't found any? Rainbow is a fairly good example. They have a working PKCS11 library for Linux but they won't give it to you without some real begging and no support. More importantly, it turns out in Rainbow's case

Is this an open-source effort? (JCE Interface to OpenSSL)? i'd like to use it as well. Yeah, but it's not in the form of a complete solution so user beware. Just a few needed algorithms and operations are implemented, and we don't implement RSA crypto directly because it's not a signed JCE.
