I have not reviewed the tests, but the following is my deep-dive on the 
code.

Mostly nits.  I stopped making comments about javadoc style issues ("." 
at ends of fragments, indentation problems), except where you were 
making changes anyway.  I realize the existing code has a bunch of 
problems that we shouldn't gratuitously break.

>> PSSParameterSpec.java
>> ---------------------
>> Maybe add trailerFieldBC(1)?
> Not sure what do u want me to add. A constants for TrailerFieldBC, or else?

Yes that was my thought.  A constant field for TrailerFieldBC.  When I 
was trying to construct a PSSParameterSpec, the integer value to use is 
"1", but if you don't read ASN.1 well enough, one might be tempted to 
pass "0xbc" instead.  If you weren't using DEFAULT, the call would be 
like this:

         PSSParameterSpec pssSpec = new PSSParameterSpec(
                 "SHA-256", "MGF1", MGF1ParameterSpec.SHA256, 20, 1);
->
         PSSParameterSpec pssSpec = new PSSParameterSpec(
                 "SHA-256", "MGF1", MGF1ParameterSpec.SHA256, 20,
                 PSSParameterSpec.trailerBC);

Ok.

Good plan.  Thanks, and Ok.

java.base/.../java/security/interfaces/package-info.java
--------------------------------------------------------
Suggest mentioning RFC 8017, as "November 2016" doesn't make it easy to 
find this particular version.  The RSA version came out in October 27, 
2012.  Whether you want to add the hyperlinking is up to you, I notice 
you've added in other places (e.g. RSAPrivateCrtKeySpec.java)


java.base/.../java/security/SignedObject.java
---------------------------------------------
59:  In the javadoc, it looks like there is a missing opening brace that 
isn't closed with the one at line 64.  However, the one at line 64 is 
not showing up in the generated output either.  Weird.

152-209:  The code in the other constructor is 99% the same, consider 
moving this setup code to a common method.

173:  Exactly the same wording here as the previous constructor.  Should 
we endeavor to make them different?

182/195/307/339-340:  indention problems.

223:  If you're going to fix this style problem, please fix the 
indention problem also.


java.base/.../java/security/spec/package-info.java
--------------------------------------------------
Suggest at least mentioning RFC 8017.


java.base/.../java/security/spec/RSAKeyGenParameterSpec.java
------------------------------------------------------------
60:
public-exponent value with no key parameters
->
public-exponent value, and no key parameters

71:
public-exponent value and key parameters
->
public-exponent value, and key parameters


java.base/.../java/security/spec/RSAMultiPrimePrivateCrtKeySpec.java
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A general nit throughout your APIs, when you're doing multi-line things 
for your @params/@return/@exception, usually should be indented to help 
readability of the source.

* @param otherPrimeInfo triplets of the rest of primes, null can be
* specified if there are only two prime factors (p and q)
->
* @param otherPrimeInfo triplets of the rest of primes, null can be
*                       specified if there are only two prime factors (p
*                       and q)


java.base/.../javax/crypto/Cipher.java
--------------------------------------
If we go with RSA-PSS or RSASSA-PSS, do you still need this change?


java.base/.../javax/crypto/spec/OAEPParameterSpec.java
------------------------------------------------------
77-80 should be <pre>.  It's rendering as a paragraph.


java.base/.../javax/crypto/spec/package-info.java
-------------------------------------------------
Suggest at least mentioning RFC 8017.


java.base/.../sun/security/rsa/PSSParameters.java
-------------------------------------------------
66/89/154/163/176/227/236: add @overrides?

115:  switch should not indent the arms:

     switch ... {
     case "...": ... ;
     default: ... ;
     }

130:  Shouldn't SHA-512/224 and /256 be here?


java.base/.../sun/security/rsa/RSAKeyFactory.java
-------------------------------------------------
202-208:  This code is repeated 5 times, maybe a single check method?

206 and other places:
Expect an
->
Expected a
or
Expected a/an


java.base/.../sun/security/rsa/RSAPrivateKeyImpl.java
-----------------------------------------------------
Add @Overrides like you did in the previous?


java.base/.../sun/security/rsa/RSAPSSSignature.java
---------------------------------------------------
53:
@since 10
->
@since 11

309-313:  Should this still be here?

75/190/231/406/443/479/497/and more...:  Line > 80 chars

358/and more:  Add @Overrides?

448-:  I appreciated the comments.  When people come up with their own 
optimizations of a relatively straightforward algorithm, it can be 
confusing to follow.  I'm guessing you're not going to be checking for 
input limitations?  (i.e. step 1)  A few more comments to help map the 
RFC to your code would be good, especially in the verify/decode. e.g. 
536-558.


java.base/.../sun/security/util/SignatureUtil.java
--------------------------------------------------
47/60-61/etc:  Parameter continuation should be indented 8 spaces here. 
Since this is a new file, can you please clean this up for readability? i.e.
     public static void specialSetParameter(Signature sig,
             AlgorithmParameters params)
             throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
             ProviderException {

         ...deleted...


java.base/.../sun/security/x509/X509CertImpl.java
-------------------------------------------------
590-593:  Parameter continuation should be indented 8 spaces here.  This 
whole file is a mess!  :)


jdk.crypto.cryptoki/.../sun/security/pkcs11/P11Signature.java
-------------------------------------------------------------
@842:  @Overrides?


jdk.crypto.mscapi/.../sun/security/mscapi/RSASignature.java
-----------------------------------------------------------
474:  Extra *

491-492:  Extra lines.

Brad
