           Summary: Library does not allow specify provider for private key
                    operations
           Product: Security
           Version: Java 1.4.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Signature
        AssignedTo: security-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hello,

At src/org/jcp/xml/dsig/internal/dom/DOMRSASignatureMethod.java the Signature 
object is used, but it is initialized without a provider.

[Relevant for decryption]

The problem is that if a hardware based provider is used (One which cannot 
extract its private key), the signature fails.

The expected behavior is to use a specific provider as any other java crypto 
methods.

I know there is an issue with the interface stabilization... But this is a 
required functionality, as there is no security without hardware 
cryptography... And security packages should be the first to support this.

Thanks!
