Using java.security.spec.RSAKeyGenParameterSpec as an argument to the built in
RSA Keypair generator (e.g. kpg.initialize (spec)) fails with a
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - "Parameter spec not RSA key pair gen.".

It looks like the com.sun.rsajca.JSA_RSAKeyPairGenerator is looking for the
internal com.sun.rsajca.RSAGenParameterSpec rather than
java.security.spec.RSAKeyGenParameterSpec.


// Generate the RSA Key Pair

// Using this will fail
RSAKeyGenParameterSpec rsaSpec =
new RSAKeyGenParameterSpec (1024, RSAKeyGenParameterSpec.F4);


// This is com.sun.rsajca.RSAGenParameterSpec - this will succeed.

        // RSAGenParameterSpec rsaSpec =
// new RSAGenParameterSpec (1024, RSAKeyGenParameterSpec.F4);

KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance ("RSA",
"SunRsaSign");

kpg.initialize (rsaSpec);

System.out.print ("Starting key pair generation....");
KeyPair kp = kpg.generateKeyPair();

Adjusted priority from 4 to 5 to reflect the fact that this will be
fixed after FCS.
