-/**
- * <p><code>SignedObject</code> is a class for the purpose of creating authentic
- * runtime objects whose integrity cannot be compromised without being detected.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>More specifically, a <code>SignedObject</code> contains another
- * {@link Serializable} object, the (to-be-)signed object and its signature.</p>
- *
- * <p>The signed object is a <i>"deep copy"</i> (in serialized form) of an
- * original object. Once the copy is made, further manipulation of the original
- * object has no side effect on the copy.</p>
- *
- * <p>The underlying signing algorithm is designated by the {@link Signature}
- * object passed to the constructor and the <code>verify()</code> method. A
- * typical usage for signing is the following:</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * Signature signingEngine = Signature.getInstance(algorithm, provider);
- * SignedObject so = new SignedObject(myobject, signingKey, signingEngine);
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>A typical usage for verification is the following (having received
- * <code>SignedObject</code> so):</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * Signature verificationEngine = Signature.getInstance(algorithm, provider);
- * if (so.verify(publickey, verificationEngine))
- * try
- * {
- * Object myobj = so.getObject();
- * }
- * catch (ClassNotFoundException ignored) {};
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>Several points are worth noting. First, there is no need to initialize the
- * signing or verification engine, as it will be re-initialized inside the
- * constructor and the <code>verify()</code> method. Secondly, for verification
- * to succeed, the specified public key must be the public key corresponding to
- * the private key used to generate the <code>SignedObject</code>.</p>
- *
- * <p>More importantly, for flexibility reasons, the <code>constructor</code>
- * and <code>verify()</code> method allow for customized signature engines,
- * which can implement signature algorithms that are not installed formally as
- * part of a crypto provider. However, it is crucial that the programmer writing
- * the verifier code be aware what {@link Signature} engine is being used, as
- * its own implementation of the <code>verify()</code> method is invoked to
- * verify a signature. In other words, a malicious {@link Signature} may choose
- * to always return <code>true</code> on verification in an attempt to bypass a
- * security check.</p>
- *
- * <p>The signature algorithm can be, among others, the NIST standard <i>DSS</i>,
- * using <i>DSA</i> and <i>SHA-1</i>. The algorithm is specified using the same
- * convention as that for signatures. The <i>DSA</i> algorithm using the
- * <i>SHA-1</i> message digest algorithm can be specified, for example, as
- * <code>"SHA/DSA"</code> or <code>"SHA-1/DSA"</code> (they are equivalent). In
- * the case of <i>RSA</i>, there are multiple choices for the message digest
- * algorithm, so the signing algorithm could be specified as, for example,
- * <code>"MD2/RSA"</code>, <code>"MD5/RSA"</code> or <code>"SHA-1/RSA"</code>.
- * The algorithm name must be specified, as there is no default.</p>
- *
- * <p>The name of the Cryptography Package Provider is designated also by the
- * {@link Signature} parameter to the <code>constructor</code> and the <code>
- * verify()</code> method. If the provider is not specified, the default
- * provider is used. Each installation can be configured to use a particular
- * provider as default.</p>
- *
- * <p>Potential applications of <code>SignedObject</code> include:</p>
- *
- * <ul>
- * <li>It can be used internally to any Java runtime as an unforgeable
- * authorization token -- one that can be passed around without the fear that
- * the token can be maliciously modified without being detected.</li>
- * <li>It can be used to sign and serialize data/object for storage outside the
- * Java runtime (e.g., storing critical access control data on disk).</li>
- * <li>Nested <i>SignedObjects</i> can be used to construct a logical sequence
- * of signatures, resembling a chain of authorization and delegation.</li>
- * </ul>
