    Description

      The BouncyCastleProvider is in installed in a static block and this makes it available to other code, when the usage can be contained to a single class inside of PDFBox by using the provider directly.

      Doing this also has the added advantage of not requiring additional security permissions when running code that is protected by a SecurityManager. Currently one needs to grant 

      permission java.security.SecurityPermission "insertProvider"

      since the provider is being installed.
