Colm O hEigeartaigh commented on WSS-532:
-----------------------------------------
No, I think "decrypt" is correct. The private key is stored encrypted in the
keystore. So the purpose of the password retrieved from the CallbackHandler is
to decrypt the private key stored in the keystore, so that it can be used for
signature.

> The the description of CallbackHandler in the _Using WSS4J_ section of the

> I think it should say *encrypt* instead.
