Hi Weijun,

The release note and the following notes look reasonable to me.

For the implementation part, could it be a little bit more straightforward if wrapping the new attributes (pss/pssParams/fallbackSignature) and codes (if pss/fallbackSignature, etc) in the PSS subclass?

Did you want to remove the debug code in the security.cpp? It seems that they are not used any more.

and the release note at

   https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8205471

The code change adds RSASSA-PSS signature support to the SunMSCAPI provider.

Several notes:

1. CryptoAPI (which SunMSCAPI is based on and now a deprecated technology) does 
not support RSASSA-PSS. In fact, CNG [1] is used to perform the signing and 
verification. This is certainly not a perfect solution and we are thinking of 
support CNG in a more sophisticated way in future releases of JDK.

2. For unknown reason, the newly added verification code for RSASSA-PSS does 
not work correctly (precisely, ::NCryptTranslateHandle returns 
NTE_INVALID_PARAMETER). A fallback mechanism is added into 
mscapi/RSASignature.java. A SunRsaSign Signature object is actually used when a 
SunMSCAPI Signature is initialized to verify an RSASSA-PSS signature.

3. It looks like CNG only supports PSSParamterSpec with the same message hash 
algorithm and MGF1 hash algorithm, because there is only one algorithm field in 
BCRYPT_PSS_PADDING_INFO [2]. This is checked when setting the parameter.

4. It looks like CNG only supports RSASSA-PSS using these hash algorithms: SHA-1, 
SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. This is not checked at parameter setting but sign() will 
throw a SignatureException saying "Unrecognised hash algorithm". Since the 
verify() side uses a fallback SunRsaSign signature, other hash algorithms are supported.

Thanks
Max
