    Subject: Question regarding java.security.Identity class

In the latest verion of Java Cryptographic Architecture API
Specification &
Refrence (17 Feb 1998), under the Key Management Class it talks only
about
the KeyStore class. However the earlier version of the same document
ie.,
19th Dec. 1997 talks about "The Identity Class" and "The IdentityScope
Class"
but not about KeyStore.

Looking at the source code (in src.zip file) for IdentityScope in JDK1.2
Beta 3
reveals that it does not instantiate a IdentityScope class as defined in
java.security file, or am I missing something?

So, my question is will JCA have support for java.security.Identity and
java.security.IdentityScope class?

Thanks.
