Algorithms are URI constants defined by various specs, but nothing to do
with compiling your program. I could put "Yankees Suck" in and it would
compile (as well as be gospel truth ;)

What algorithm are you trying to use? You should generally grab them from
the XMLSignature library's constants
(e.g. XMLSignature.ALGO_ID_SIGNATURE_RSA_SHA1)
