Hello,

I was trying to add missing classes from BC library source to my
project for implementing ECDSA, but noticed that the version of BC in
android is not the latest one. Someone can tell which version it is ?

More important , is the bouncy castle version going to be updated in
next version of SDK, maybe including missing classes required to do
ECDSA  (and other functions) ?

Currently the only way ( as far as I could see) to achieve ECDSA is to
add missing classes from BC source, modifying packages , and accessing
crypto functions through not JCE/SPI but directly accessing BC
classes, which is going to be problem if next versions of SDK are
going to include those missing classes.

Also I could not understand the reason for supporting RSA (which is
slow) and leaving ECC out, which is said to be much faster with
smaller key sizes and said to be ideal specifically for handheld
devices. Could someone clarify ?

Sincerely
Ray
