Dear Reviewers,

I forgot to underscore an important point about the cryptographic
extensions. These are extensions to the java.security and sun.security
packages that are part of the standard JDK 1.1 release.

If you don't already have a copy of JDK 1.1 beta, you will want to download
a copy from http://java.sun.com/products/JDK/1.1. JDK 1.1 includes
support for digital signatures, parsing and generating X509 certificates,
and utilities for some of the PKCS formats, among other things.
Information on the new features in JDK 1.1 is at
http://java.sun.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/relnotes/features.html

Information on how to use the signature facilities can be found via
the web page at http://java.sun.com/security.

Anyway, consider the extensions as "extensions to JDK 1.1."

Keep those cards and letters coming, especially if you have technical
comments on the APIs. Send feedback to java-security@java.sun.com.

Thanks,

Marianne
