My mistake in an earlier message when I said CryptoSpec.html was not
online. That one *is* online. It's not in the JCE because it's part
of the JDK. If you have the JDK docs, then you'll find it in
docs/guide/security. The API_users_guide.html will be found in
docs/api (in the JDK 1.1 installation.)

*** Note that you need to download the JDK docs separately from
*** downloading the JDK.

JDK itself and the docs are downloaded from
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1

Online, you can see CyptoSpec at this URL
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/security/CryptoSpec.html

and the API_users_guide at this URL
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/API_users_guide.html

See also this URL for general pointers for JDK 1.1 security-related
documentation:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/security/index.html

And this is the URL for all JDK 1.1 documentation:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/index.html

Apologies for the lack of cross-linking between the JCE javadocs and
the JDK javadocs and documentation guides. We are working on
enhancements to javadocs so that it will better support such
cross-linking.
