The APIs in sun.security.provider are SUN-private.
You do not need to know them. The classes in that package
provide implementations of all the algorithms supported
by the SUN provider (in the form of SPI implementation classes).

For example, the sun.security.provider.MD5 class extends
off of java.security.MessageDigestSpi and implements the
MD5 message digest algorithm.
