Comparison with Previous Releases

The classes discussed in this chapter are available in version 1.2.1 of JCE. Version 1.2.1 is the first exportable release of JCE; previous versions may be used only within the United States and Canada. However, there are third-party implementations of earlier versions of JCE that were written by entities outside of the United States, and those implementations may be used outside of the United States.

Version 1.2 does not support key wrapping. The init( ) methods to the Cipher class that require a certificate are not available in 1.2.

Version 1.1 of JCE supports only the DES, DESede, and PBEWithMD5AndDES encryption algorithms.
