Mark,

I'm forwarding (below) your further questions to the java-security list.
Please send all questions to that list; it's our method of keeping track of
questions and responses to try to ensure that all are answered
appropriately. You'll reach a broader range of folks that way. Different
people may respond to different questions, depending on their areas of
expertise.

Mary
