SSL won't be in the JCE. SSL is bundled with HotJava and Java Web Server
(and about 10 other products from Java Software!)

As a standalone product, SSL will likely be available for source
licensing; terms are being hammered out. Due to US govt export rules,
we could only provide an SSL source product within the US or Canada
(unless a separate export license were obtained.)

Note that since most implementations of SSL use RSA, we can't provide
a 100% Java SSL implementation since we don't have the right to implement
the RSA algorithm in Java. We use the RSA implementation that is in
the RSA DSI's library, BSAFE.

I forwarded your message to our sales and marketing people.
