Hello Let's start a different thread for that.
I suggest revisiting current componentization for security related parts. Now we have for example crypto architecture in security module but crypto extension in the crypto module. See natural components in the UserGuide http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/ The proposal is to have 3 components: 1. general security & crypto 2. ssl 3. jaas The logical content of those components would be: 1. - General Security - Certification Path - JCE 2. - JSSE 3. - JAAS - JGSS - SASL Physical content of those components: 1. java.security javax.crypto javax.security.cert 2. javax.net 3. javax.security w/o javax.security.cert org.ietf Opinions?
