Subject: Some Java Security Questions

Hello,

I have a couple of questions related to Java security.

1. Do you have a timeframe for the release of SSL?
I am working on an application that requires SSL and have a
very urgent need to obtain an SSL implementation as soon as
possible.

2. Do you plan to ship an API for Block and Stream Ciphers?
I also need to do some symmetric encryption and would prefer to
do it in the same manner as MessageDigest and Signatures(ie.
through an API that is Java rather than provider specific).

3. Do you have any plans to provide RSA?
I am interested in using RSA both for encryption and signing.

Thank you,

Joe DiCelie
