So I'll ask the obvious - can we borrow some of this from BC?

We should have at least to verify BC provider:
1) Message digest algorithm: SHA-1
2) Signature algorithm: SHA1withDSA
Other jars may require additional algorithms, for example, SHA1withRSA. We
can verify BC provider first and use it for further jar verifications.

Hi Tim,
In order to verify the signature of those signed provider jars I believe
that you would also need trusted implementations of :
* SHA-1 and MD5 digest algorithms
* DSA and RSA signature algorithms

Returning back to the 'missing post'. I agreed with suggestion but
currently
we don't have Harmony provider so we should define how we locate
'trusted
provides' to be secure.
We just need a trusted SHA1PRNG, right? then we can open signed
providers' jars and get any others.
Regards,
Tim
