- added abstract base classes PK_SimpleKeyAgreementDomain and
PK_AuthenticatedKeyAgreementDomain
- changed DH and LUCDIF to implement the PK_SimpleKeyAgreementDomain
interface and to perform domain parameter and key validation
- changed interfaces of PK_Signer and PK_Verifier to sign and verify
messages instead of message digests
- changed OAEP to conform to PKCS#1 v2.0
- changed benchmark code to produce HTML tables as output
- changed PSSR to track IEEE P1363a
- renamed ElGamalSignature to NR and changed it to track IEEE P1363
- renamed ECKEP to ECMQVC and changed it to track IEEE P1363
