Hello,

I've browsed the docs for the JDK 1.2 proposal for java.security. The
interface java.security.Certificate is deprecated, with a comment that says
"A new certificate
handling package is created in JDK 1.2." But I can't find any documentation
on the
new package.

The file entitled "Why should I care about X.509 certificates?" (Last
Modified: 8 July,
1997) talks about javakey, but there's no pointer to a Java API for
certificates.

Thanks for any info,
