Subject: Encryption/Decryption
Does JDK 1.1 Beta 3 contain encryption and decryption algorithms and
associated interfaces? If it does not, are their plans for their inclusion?
(Please pass on only that information which has been publicly announced.)
If they will be included, when will they be included (i.e. date they will
be available for use by JAVA users?) By encryption and decryption I mean
sending an encrypted data string from one system (eg. a client) to another
(eg. a server) which decrypts it, all of this predicated upon a the use of
public and private keys. I've just started looking into the capabilities of
JDK 1.1 and it does not appear that the capabilities I've described are there.
Can you educate/enlighten me? Thanks, Scott.
