Hi,

The JavaSoft implementation of the JCE APIs is a 100% Java
implementation.

It could be imagined that other people might choose to implement the
APIs in C or in a C/hardware combination, but we are providing a Java
implementation as the default.

JCE is a cryptographic library, which exposes crypto APIs. There is
no situation in which such a library could be approved for export,
since we want to allow for different provider implementations under
the APIs in an open fashion.

We are publishing the API specification on our web site,
at http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.1/earlyaccess/index.html

Note that the original API specification is the May "early access"
specification, and based on feedback from folks such as yourself, the
APIs are evolving. Please do send feedback on the APIs.

thanks,
Marianne
