Hello

We are planning to move to BouncyCastle 1.6 version
(bcprov-jdk15on-161.jar). At the moment, we are  not planning to use
bkpkix-jdk15on-161.jar.

In our codebase, we were constructing SKI in the following way :
new SubjectKeyIdentifier( SubjectPublicKeyInfo )  --

Since, this constructor  longer exists in 1.6, We were thinking of
constructing SubjectKeyIdentifier with the byte[] :
new  SubjectKeyIdentifier( SubjectPublicKeyInfo.getEncoded() )

We are unsure though if this is the right way to generate SKI?

Please do clarify this issue ?

Thanks..
