/**
   SignedObject is used for storing rutime objects whose integrity
   cannot be compromised without being detected.

   SignedObject contains a Serializable object which is yet to be 
   signed and its signature.

   The signed copy is a "deep copy" (in serialized form) of the 
   original object. Any changes to the original will not affect 
   the original.

   Several things to note are that, first there is no need to 
   initialize the signature engine as this class will handle that 
   automatically. Second, verification will only succeed if the
   public key corresponds to the private key used to generate 
   the SignedObject.

   For fexibility, the signature engine can be specified in the 
   constructor or the verify method. The programmer who writes 
   code that verifies the SignedObject has not changed should be 
   aware of the Signature engine they use. A malicious Signature 
   may choose to always return true on verification and 
   bypass the secrity check.

   The GNU provider provides the NIST standard DSA which uses DSA 
   and SHA-1. It can be specified by SHA/DSA, SHA-1/DSA or its 
   OID. If the RSA signature algorithm is provided then
   it could be MD2/RSA. MD5/RSA, or SHA-1/RSA. The algorithm must
   be specified because there is no default.
