In my previous email, I had referred you to:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/security/CryptoSpec.html

Also, this document might help you further:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/security/HowToImplAProvider.html

It explains in detail how to become a provider for the JCA.

Thanks,

Jan
