I tried IAIK crypto provider but it failed with the exception.I have used
IAIK quite a lot and I think the IAIK provider is OK but I am not sure why
it failed.

Case 1
---------
I tried a pdf having un-authenticated attribute and used PdfPKCS7 pk =
af.verifySignature(name,"IAIK"); and got an exception:

Case 2
--------
Then I tried another pdf which simply signs using the sample provided in
iText and then I tried to verify using PdfPKCS7 pk =
af.verifySignature(name);  but in vain.

In both cases the exception I got is:

ExceptionConverter: java.security.cert.CRLException: Error reading object!
 at iaik.x509.CertificateFactory.engineGenerateCRLs(Unknown Source)
 at
java.security.cert.CertificateFactory.generateCRLs(CertificateFactory.java:5
85)
 at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPKCS7.<init>(PdfPKCS7.java:249)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.AcroFields.verifySignature(AcroFields.java:1296)
 at com.lowagie.text.pdf.AcroFields.verifySignature(AcroFields.java:1252)

In both cases the list of installed security providers is:

IAIK version 3.11
SUN version 1.2
SunJSSE version 1.41
SunRsaSign version 1.0
SunJCE version 1.4
SunJGSS version 1.0

In Case1 the PKCS7 I set in pdf is verifiable by IAIK provider seperately so
its really strange why it failed when IAIK provider is used internally by
iText. Am I doing some thing wrong

Wahaj
