    Description

      The java.security.Signer class is deprecated. Several internal security classes have dependencies on this class (and the subclass sun.security.x509.X500Signer) which can easily be removed. See suggested fix for diffs for those changes. Eliminating this dependency helps reduce the number and size of the security classes in the base module.

      The classes that I have removed this dependency from are:

      sun.security.x509.CertAndKeyGen
      sun.security.pkcs.PKCS10
      sun.security.tools.KeyTool
      Remove dependencies on the following classes too:
        java.security.Certificate
        java.security.Identity
        java.security.IdentityScope
