There is a package I found:  android.content.pm.  The overview starts
with "Contains classes for accessing information about an application
package, including information about its activities, permissions,
services, signatures, and providers."

I am looking to verify the signature of a file downloaded into a
Context's cach directory before:
- using it in the constructor of DexClassLoader, loader
-  & running (loader.loadClass("classNm")).newInstance()

Think Java Webstart with a stub & impl version of an Activity.  I want
the signer of the stub & downloaded impl to match.  Everything works,
but  I feel I should be adding this check before going to production.
Am I now looking closer to the right place?
