Summary
Adds
Algorithm.RSA256PSS,RSA384PSS, andRSA512PSSfactory methods (each withRSAKeyProvider,RSAPublicKey+RSAPrivateKey, andRSAKeyoverloads), implementing the RSASSA-PSS signature scheme from RFC 7518 §3.5. Closes Support for PS256 algorithm #659.Non-breaking, purely additive. Existing RS/ES/HS algorithms are unchanged, and the
japicmpapiDiffcheck reports no breaking API changes.Threads an optional

Signature.setParameter()during both signing and verification. Existing algorithms continue to passnull, so their behavior is unchanged.Provider / Java Version Notes
