             Summary: Refactoring the Hmac and Rsa signature methods APIs in JWS
                 Key: OLTU-165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLTU-165
             Project: Apache Oltu
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JWS
            Reporter: Simone Tripodi
            Assignee: Simone Tripodi


Main aspects I was focused on while making the proposal:

 * simplify the _RSA_/_HMAC_ usage for users not familiar with {{java.security}} APIs, introducing {{KeyFactory}};

 * reduce drastically the magic role of {{String}} in the _RSA_ algorithms,
 I would avoid end users have to manipulate strings in order to obtain
 different _RSA_ algorithms, but IMHO it has to be clear which algorithm
 they are going to use by simply instantiating classes;

 * have classes well organised, collected in different packages depending by the signature method.
