/**

 * <p> SignedObject is a class for the purpose of creating authentic

 * runtime objects whose integrity cannot be compromised without being

 * detected.

 *

 * <p> More specifically, a SignedObject contains another Serializable

 * object, the (to-be-)signed object and its signature.

 *

 * <p> The signed object is a "deep copy" (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> The underlying signing algorithm is designated by the Signature

 * object passed to the constructor and the {@code verify} method.

 * A typical usage for signing is the following:

 *

 * <pre>{@code

 * Signature signingEngine = Signature.getInstance(algorithm,

 *                                                 provider);

 * SignedObject so = new SignedObject(myobject, signingKey,

 * }</pre>

 *

 * <p> A typical usage for verification is the following (having

 * received SignedObject {@code so}):

 *

 * <pre>{@code

 * Signature verificationEngine =

 *     Signature.getInstance(algorithm, provider);

 *     try {

 *         Object myobj = so.getObject();

 *     } catch (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {};

 * }</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}

 * method. Secondly, for verification to succeed, the specified

 * public key must be the public key corresponding to the private key

 *

 * <p> More importantly, for flexibility reasons, the

 * constructor and {@code verify} 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 {@code Signature} engine is being

 * used, as its own implementation of the {@code verify} method

 * is invoked to verify a signature.  In other words, a malicious

 * {@code Signature} may choose to always return true on

 * verification in an attempt to bypass a security check.

 *

 * <p> The signature algorithm can be, among others, the NIST standard

 * DSA, using DSA and SHA-256.  The algorithm is specified using the

 * same convention as that for signatures. The DSA algorithm using the

 * SHA-256 message digest algorithm can be specified, for example, as

 * "SHA256withDSA".  In the case of

 * RSA the signing algorithm could be specified as, for example,

 * "SHA256withRSA".  The algorithm name must be

 * specified, as there is no default.

 *

 * <p> The name of the Cryptography Package Provider is designated

 * also by the Signature parameter to the constructor and the

 * {@code verify} 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> Potential applications of SignedObject include:

 * <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> 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> Nested SignedObjects can be used to construct a logical

 * sequence of signatures, resembling a chain of authorization and

 * delegation.

 * </ul>
