    Subject: Implementing a JCE compatible API

G'day,

we have already written a crypto API and are in the process of
migrating it over to the JCE. The early access API appears to
be out of date with the update list and incomplete (what happened
to CipherInputStream? etc...). If I'm not confused would it be
possible to update the doumentation that's on line?

Thanks,

David.

PS. If I understand correctly, making the API documentation on-line
may have just become a contentious issue again. I don't suppose the
JCE team have considered publishing a small run of a lightweight
paperback with a title like "Fun With the JCE", or maybe "JCE for
Recalcitrants" :-). I gather from the amount of crypto books I've
bought from the US that this would be a legal way of distributing it,
and if you made it cheap (lets face it, all it needs to be is a copy
of the HTML documentation, and I think spiral binding is widely
underestimated) I (and I imagine most people) would be happy to buy a
new copy every month while the thing stabilises.
