I would not say this is a bug. Is it useful to do this, another question altogether? It is tempting to try and stop people constructing wrong country codes, but...

I'm not sure exactly what OpenSSL is up to, but this one will actually verify if the data "3232131313123" is fed into the signature validator as the detached data. It...

That's basically correct. I've also updated the properties files to build 1.82-SNAPSHOT so what's built now should look like it does in the betas area.

Yes, the SunEC provider is not allowed for FIPS. The 2.0.0 provider does not currently support EdECPrivateKeySpec or EdECPublicKeySpec, only support for the NamedParameterSpec is provided. You could work around...

We'll try and get it into BC-FJA 2.2.0, have some constraints on that though as if we add too much new code it becomes a new submission rather than an...

Okay, we'll add it the list. We'll probably do it in bc-java first, it may take a while to get into a FIPS module, although once the support is done,...

Only SHA512 is defined for this at the moment. Can you tell we what you are trying to do?

Two minor quibbles. On 1, are you sure you can't use external-mu? Pre-hash's only real use case now is for people who do not have access to the public key....

See https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/04ffb14f8b30b581549ff86c3a448d27fb1f07e8/prov/src/test/java/org/bouncycastle/pqc/jcajce/provider/test/MLDSATest.java#L482 With 2, it's not those object identifiers I'm talking about, there's none for the actual signature mechanisms, as in id-hash-ml-dsa-44-with-sha512 it's not really enough just to be able...

Here's the current ones. I'm a bit hesitant about doing anything more "official" as BC-FJA 1.0.2.5 is not certified yet. [RELEASE_NOTES.md](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/15528543/RELEASE_NOTES.md)
