RFR 8205445: Add RSASSA-PSS Signature support to SunMSCAPI

Max,

Good catch on the SunRsaSign provider bug.

Looking at the changes, I think we may have to fine-grain the check on 
the ensureInit() call, i.e.

use ensureInit(boolean sign) instead of ensureInit(), as the current 
method only ensures that at least one of the privKey, pubKey or 
fallbackSignature is non-null, I think it should check the right one is 
non-null, i.e. sign -> privKey, verify -> pubKey/fallbackSignature.

In the PSS class engineInitVerify(...) method if the specified key is a 
MSCAPI public key, then fallbackSignature is set to null and the native 
verifyPssSignedHash method is used, right?

Thanks,

Valerie

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.

>>>> 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.
