Dear Mr Gerck,

JDK 1.1 doesn't include APIs for SSL Sockets, and we haven't announced
plans for future JDK releases. You might be interested in the SSL
support that is part of the Java Web Server. Please check out
http://jeeves.javasoft.com.

One thing to keep in mind is that an SSL API would be a crypto API,
and we are very interested in keeping the JDK freely exportable
world-wide. As you may know, the US government prohibits the export
of pluggable crypto APIs. You can get export license for crypto
solutions, but not for software that contains what is known as
"crypto with a hole."

Marianne
