Java Team:

I have recently begun studying the cryptographic features included in the
JCE. Could you please provide some background as to why these classes were
split from the standard JDK 1.2 package? I understand about the export
restrictions, but are there any other reasons? Why were message digests and
signatures included in the JCA, but ciphers were not?

Thanks,
Brian Bradley
