We can't do this, but the API's are open and are published on our web
site at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/jce/

There's two possible scenarios - 1) it wouldn't work, since the JCE library
isn't available in the browsers or the Java Plug-In or 2) if the applet
writer bundles JCE in the applet JAR file (or whatever) then it probably
would be in violation of US export laws. I'm no lawyer though.
