Hi,

>From the documents, the java security API only support DSA and =
SHA-1/MD5. This implies that no encryption is supported. Do you have any =
plan to support encryption (RSA, DES) in the future ?

Based on my test program, the performance for DSA and SHA-1/MD5 are =
sluggish. I assume it is written in Java. Is there any plan to =
incorporate native cryptologic code in the JDK ?=20

By the way, I have a implemetation of SHA-1which is about 50 % faster =
than the one in JDK 1.1 beta.
