Hello Mike,

Your question was forwarded to me through the Java Card development
group.

The Java Card 2.1 DR1 kit you have downloaded is a first release of Java
Card 2.1 API and workstation development environment. While it is close
to the final 2.1 APIs, there has been continued development and changes
since it was posted in October. We are looking to have a final release of
the Java Card 2.1 APIs and documentation within the next few months.
Whether the javacard.security and javacardx.crypto package APIs will be
included in a Sun release is a decision that has not been made yet as
there are many considerations with regard to export requirements.

To use and test the javacard.security and javacardx.crypto packages
requires the implementation of the services which they rely upon in the
smart card hardware and OS. Our licensee vendors will be supplying this
functionality in their products. I believe Schlumberger is the first
vendor to offer a Java Card development kit which includes the crypto
features. While not Java Card 2.1 yet, I believe it's the most up to date
implementation available at this time.

Best,
Godfrey DiGiorgi
