RSA-SHA256 xml signature

Hi,
I have a question about creating xml signature usig RSAwithSHA256 algorithm.
My application receives and sends signed XMLS. My application is written in
Java 1.5 and uses Apache xmlsec_1_4_2.jar library for signing XML files. It
uses javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod.RSA_SHA1 algorithm for xml
signing. Now, I need to change RSA_SHA1 algorithm to RSA_SHA256, but this
Java API doesn't support it. Can you please give me an advice, what options
do I have? Is there any provider for RSA_SHA256?

Thanks,

Lukas

Hi,

The Java/JSR 105 API also supports this and the underlying JCE 
cryptographic support for RSA-SHA256 has been in Sun's JDK since 1.4.2.  
However. you must specify the URI when generating the SignatureMethod, 
as there is no String constant defined for it yet. So do the following:

XMLSignatureFactory fac = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance();
SignatureMethod sm = 
fac.newSignatureMethod("http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256", 
...);

I'm pretty sure BouncyCastle supports it:

http://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html

Apache WSS4J uses BouncyCastle as the crypto provider, and some of the
tests use http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256 as the
signature algorithm.
