GNU Crypto is *not* a JCA/JCE implementation. as is mentioned in its home page: "...(GNU Crypto) aims at providing free, versatile, high-quality, and provably correct implementations of cryptographic primitives and tools in the Java programming language for use by programmers and end-users." beacuse it does not always follow the published interfaces of Sun, the library includes a sub-package (gnu.crypto.jce.*) that contains Adapters for allowing plugging the appropriate algorithms into a JCA/JCE implementation as a Security Provider (GnuCrypto) --we ear-marked BouncyCastle, Cryptix and JDK1.4 JCA/JCE publishers for future integration. (currently there are only Adapters for the *built-in* hash, PRNG and signature schemes. Adapters for the javax.security interfaces and classes will come later.) cheers; rsn _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
