Hi,
I am currently involved in a project to develop Java applets which will
make SSL (or TLS) connections. I would like to support the popular
cipher technologies (eg DES encryption). Clearly I'd prefer for the
support to be part of Java rather than having to write it myself.
I suspect this may happen, but can you give me some idea if this is the
case, and if so when it would be likely. In addition - if Sun creates
classes to do all these things, is it guaranteed that they will be
available in the most prevalent Java environments (i.e. specifically in
Netscape Navigator, and MS IE) ?
regards,
Michael Kirk
