Sun does not currently ship an exportable version of JCE. A company
called Baltimore Technologies in Ireland (Dublin, I believe) issues a
press release some months ago saying they had a product that is fully
compatible with our APIs. I do not have more info on their product,
but they have a web page somewhere.
By the way, JCE1.1 and new JCE1.2 APIs are available at
http://java.sun.com/people/gong/java/security.html.

I believe there is a SET implementation in Java somewhere, and given
the financial use of it, its export control should be easier than
JCE. But I have no details on that yet.
