Please see the announcement below of a clean room implementation
of JCE 1.2 by a company in Australia. They also make source
code available.

Sun is also looking at providing an exportable version of JCE
in the future.

ABA releases JCE crypto package
-------------------------------

The ABA JCE is a clean room implementation of the Java Cryptography
Extension (JCE) API as defined by Sun Microsystems, plus a provider
of underlying crypto algorithms.

This JCE is based on the early access beta2 version of the JCE as
available from the Java Developer Connection early access area.

JDK 1.02, 1.1 and 1.2(fcs) compatible versions are available
including complete source code.

See http://www.aba.net.au/solutions/crypto/jce.html for more
information!
