Title: Need help figuring out CryptoBase#getCertificates(alias)

How is it that you'd expect to get a certificate for / related to a symmetric key?  What would you expect such a certificate to look like?  What would you expect a signature using only a symmetric key would look like? The discussion related to the embedded key stuff relates (predictably) only to encryption and not to signature (as would be expected of any symmetric scheme), yet you seem to be trying to do signature stuff... What is it you are trying to accomplish here?
