Abstract

This set of Java APIs specifies the APIs proposed as the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE). It is a revised version of the APIs that were originally published as a whitepaper for the May 1997 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy.

JCE1.2 will be provided as a Java extension to JDK1.2. It relies on some of the classes and interfaces defined in JDK1.2, such as Key, KeyFactory, KeyPairGenerator, etc. Please refer to the documentation of JDK1.2 for more information about these classes. (Check http://java.sun.com/products/index.html for announcements regarding the availability of JDK1.2.)
