Hi Alan,

Yes, you're right, we cannot export cryptographic APIs.

We shipped an early access version of JCE, the Java Cryptography
Extension package. It is a US only release. It is meant to be
"dropped into" an existing JDK installation.

We published the API specification for the JCE as a whitepaper at a
conference in May, 1997; we can publish that set of APIs on our web
site. See

http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.1/earlyaccess/index.html

US regulations prevent us from offering technical advice on
cryptographic implementations to people outside the US or Canada.
Thanks in advance for your understanding on this. To find out more
about US policies, refer to the README that accompanies the JCE,

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jce/README

There are URLs in there that might be useful.
