/**
 * There is an unfortunate naming discrepancy between BouncyCastle and
 * other security providers over the name of ECDSA.  BouncyCastle uses
 * the string "ECDSA", while several standard library providers use
 * the string "EC".  This means that regardless of the configured
 * provider preferences, JcaPEMKeyConverter will always end up using
 * the "BC" (BouncyCastle) provider for ECDSA.  This is generally
 * benign because the same algorithms are implimented, and
 * BouncyCastle is often faster.  However, it does prevent calling out
 * to NSS via the PKCS#11 provider.  In the case of ECDSA,
 * microbenchmarks demonstrate that NSS is significantly faster than
 * BouncyCastle.
