hi,

> I have some JCE and java.security classes that uses a PIN that must be

> 1) A PIN to be entered
> 2) A Key to be inserted
> 3) A Key to be removed
> 4) Notify that a key is inserted/removed

we're currently developing a standard extension API
for pluggable authentication which will include Callback classes
which should meet your needs.

the APIs should be available in the sometime in the near future on our
security website. http://java.sun.com/security

thanks!
charlie
