So what I'm concerned with is surprise. I'm also concerned with "default signature formats" from new providers. Right now, I know if I ask for ECDSA, the output of Signature will be in a very specific format, and the math will match what's in FIPS 186-4, X9.62 and SECG. I'm really uncomfortable about changing that. I think the algorithm name should map to one specific suite of math and input/output formats.
Yes, your argument makes sense, and we will change the fix to use new algorithm Strings that specify the P1363 format. Jason will be following up with more details on that.
Thanks for weighing in on this issue and spending the time to explain your concerns.
