Hi,

We are not planning to distribute any implementation of JCE outside of
US or Canada. We are publishing the specification on our web site
at http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.1/earlyaccess/index.html.

Note that the current specification is the alpha1 release, and it will
evolve a lot. See our hypermail archive for some Q&A,
http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.1/earlyaccess/index.html

It's not possible to distribute a cryptographic library
internationally, even if it only supports so-called "weak" encryption,
since this is what is colloquially known as "crypto with a hole." US
regulations prohibit exporting explicit cryptographic APIs.

Thanks,
Marianne
