            Description

            ICEpdf 6.1 introduced support for digital signature validation. The Viewer RI has been heavily modified to show how this new feature is to be used. However the core api doesn't actually need runtime support for this feature. The SignatureHandler class loads the Bouncy CastleProvide and adds it to the Java Security provider.

            This process could be done reflectively so the core library can run without Bouncy if signature validation isn't needed. However the Viewer RI will still require the Bouncy jars.

              Used a similar method to what we do in the SecurityManager class. Basically we try and load the provider reflectively and log any errors along the way.

              Compilation still requires bouncy but run time will be OK as long as signature validation is not performed.
