Thanks Jan,

I have several questions regarding your answer.

1) If you are adding support for storing session keys in the JCE keystore in
an upcoming JCE 1.2 FCS release, what if any difference is there between the
JKS and the JCEKS implementations ?

2) When is the next JCE 1.2 FCS with the secret (session) key support due to
be released ?

Thanks again,
