Details

At the moment, Android uses 1024-bit RSA keys (the RS128 JWT algorithm):

Desktop uses 1024-bit DSA keys (the DS128/DS160 JWT algorithm):

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/services/fxaccounts/FxAccounts.jsm#162

Note that RS128 fails on (some?) Android 2.2 devices (Bug 975625) so we should move Android to using DS160 ASAP.

I'll try to do some preliminary signature timings to understand what, if any, perf impact this change has.
In the great Bugzilla outage of March 10, 2014, this got created twice.
