      Description

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
        There is no way to read RSA private key in PKCS #1 using Sun JCE. The feature is available in BouncyCastle.

        JUSTIFICATION :
        The PKCS#1 encoded private key is faster because it contains CRT parameters. Lots people have to convert their keys to PKCS #8, losing CRT.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        Add a factory to read PKCS#1 encoded private key
        ACTUAL -
        No such factory.
