Bouncy Castles DH/DSS key support

I have recently started using the Bouncy Castle open source to aid me in a cryptography project I am working on.

I notice though that it does not support DH/DSS keys. It has already been specified which keys I need to use, and it just so happens they are DH/DSS keys. Is there anyway of using Bouncy Castle with a DH/DSS key?

I am afraid BC only provides the key agreement alg of DH (would be proper if you want to cover transport layer security) but not its DSS signature algorithm as Signature provider object, as far as i know.

If you intend to integrate pgp support into your code though, you might try the higher level pgp package of bouncy-castle http://www.bouncycastle.org/docs/pgdocs1.4/index.html; if you want, you can even consider some library accessing the native pgp libraries through JNI or use one avaialable that does provide that
