+/**
+ SignedObject is used for storing rutime objects whose integrity
+ cannot be compromised without being detected.
+
+ SignedObject contains a Serializable object which is yet to be
+ signed and its signature.
+
+ The signed copy is a "deep copy" (in serialized form) of the
+ original object. Any changes to the original will not affect
+ the original.
+
+ Several things to note are that, first there is no need to
+ initialize the signature engine as this class will handle that
+ automatically. Second, verification will only succeed if the
+ public key corresponds to the private key used to generate
+ the SignedObject.
+
+ For fexibility, the signature engine can be specified in the
+ constructor or the verify method. The programmer who writes
+ code that verifies the SignedObject has not changed should be
+ aware of the Signature engine they use. A malicious Signature
+ may choose to always return true on verification and
+ bypass the secrity check.
+
+ The GNU provider provides the NIST standard DSA which uses DSA
+ and SHA-1. It can be specified by SHA/DSA, SHA-1/DSA or its
+ OID. If the RSA signature algorithm is provided then
+ it could be MD2/RSA. MD5/RSA, or SHA-1/RSA. The algorithm must
+ be specified because there is no default.
