Hello-

I think there is a typo at the end of
Josh's and John's digital signature paper
in the jdc.

Shouldn't the code read:

/* Initialize for verifying */
dsa.initVerify(myPublicKey);

instead of

/* Initialize for verifying */
dsa.initSign(myPrivateKey);

???

Either way, I get the drift. Its a great
article to have around.
