New issue 33 by johnrobertpanzer: RSA PKCS algorithm summary is misleading
http://code.google.com/p/salmon-protocol/issues/detail?id=33

In the magic signature spec, the final step of the signing algorithm  
description is misleading at best:

  6. RSA sign the emsa byte sequence

This should read something like "encrypt the emsa byte sequence with the  
RSA private key; the resulting byte sequence is the magic signature in  
binary form".

(Some libraries call this "sign()" and others call something else "sign()"  
so it's much much better to be explicit here.)
