The second edition of this book provides new chapters on JSSE and JAAS, which have only recently been released. It provides updated information on JCE version 1.2.1, including modified code examples.
The remainder of the text has been reorganized, including a new chapter that presents an overview of the default sandbox and how it is administered. Information and examples are now arranged by topic rather than by package: the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm, for instance, is presented in the chapters on key management rather than appearing in a chapter on JCE. We treat the core Java security packages and the three optional security packages as an integrated API (which is how it is scheduled to be packaged in the next release of Java).
