I can't seem to get the DSA implementation provided with JDK 1.1.X to
do DSA in any mode other than SHA/DSA. I'm assuming that I should be
calling Signature.getInstance("RawDSA") to compute the digest myself
and that this just isn't supported by the provider. Or is some other
canonical name I need to use?

I'm not looking forward to doing my own DSA implementation, but I'll
have to if I can't get raw access to the algorithm. :(

Thanks,
