      Summary

      Specify list of standard message digest and mgf algorithms for RSASSA-PSS signatures.

      Problem

      Two of the parameters of the 5-arg java.security.spec.PSSParameterSpec constructor are the algorithms for the hash and message generation functions. It would be helpful for compatibility and interoperability purposes to define standard names for the algorithms as specified in RFC 8017.

      Solution

      Add a PSSParameterSpec section to the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names specification with the list of standard hash and message generation function algorithms.

      Specification

      Add the following section to the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names specification:

      PSSParameterSpec

      Add links to this section from the 5-arg PSSParameterSpec constructor.
