Since JCE is subject to export control, one cannot download JCE 1.2
software from outside of US and Canada at this time; but one should
be able to download the spec. An Australian company has a clean
room implementation of JCE. You can find more information at
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/jdk12/providers.html.

If you are in US or Canada, you should be able to download the
JCE software and spec.

Please try to download again.

The algorithm you are interested in is not included in the default
JCE provider from Sun. You may want to write your own provider and
then plug it into the JCE framework.

The document "How to Implement a Provider for the Java Cryptography
Architecture" at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/security/HowToImplAProvider.html
should be helpful if you decide to write a JCE provider.
