Sounds good. I'll try it.

Sure I can.

Thanks

>> 1. CryptoAPI (which SunMSCAPI is based on and now a deprecated technology) does not support RSASSA-PSS. In fact, CNG [1] is used to perform the signing and verification. This is certainly not a perfect solution and we are thinking of support CNG in a more sophisticated way in future releases of JDK.
>> 2. For unknown reason, the newly added verification code for RSASSA-PSS does not work correctly (precisely, ::NCryptTranslateHandle returns NTE_INVALID_PARAMETER). A fallback mechanism is added into mscapi/RSASignature.java. A SunRsaSign Signature object is actually used when a SunMSCAPI Signature is initialized to verify an RSASSA-PSS signature.
>> 3. It looks like CNG only supports PSSParamterSpec with the same message hash algorithm and MGF1 hash algorithm, because there is only one algorithm field in BCRYPT_PSS_PADDING_INFO [2]. This is checked when setting the parameter.
>> 4. It looks like CNG only supports RSASSA-PSS using these hash algorithms: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. This is not checked at parameter setting but sign() will throw a SignatureException saying "Unrecognised hash algorithm". Since the verify() side uses a fallback SunRsaSign signature, other hash algorithms are supported.
