Yes, that's the way we went. But I didn't want come up with this solution to prevent confusion. Moreover we dropped all references to BC from the code manually to get a tiny applet. The hashing is done using the ever-ready Sun provider, all other complex / crypto stuff is delegated to our server. But I wouldn't take this path again, as the code is cut off from further iText development ...
@zouzou: My conclusion: iText requires BC, so don't nag the applet user by squeezing another provider thru the wire.
