But where is the API ? Is it restricted to United States and Canada too =
? (that looks strange for an API).

My company doesn't make SSL impl=E9mentation, but I'm looking for an SSL =
implementation to allow SSL connection with a LDAP directory using JNDI.
This API uses the package javax.net.ssl, ... so I need an =
implementation.

So, I asked to the IAIK-Java Group while they use their own API instead =
of javax.net.ssl and here a part of the answer:

Does JSSE API's looks like javax.net.ssl (API found at =
http://java.sun.com/security/ssl/packages.html) and is JSSE the new name =
for this API ?

Thanks.

(it's really hard for non US customer to find SSL implementation =
... I found only one: JCSI from DSTC Pty Ltd).
