Hello Tim,

from what I know about the export regulations, shipping
working crypto code that is just disabled through some
configuration file is not acceptable. You will have to
obtain a full-strength JCE/JSSE implementation. Either
a US-only version of the JDK, or a non-US implementation
of the library which is not subject to US or other export
restrictions on cryptography.

cheers,
  Roland

Re: Invalid RSA modulus size






Does anyone know if the Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files are 
meant to solve this problem, or is it actually a bug with the JDK1.4? 
The policy files don't help me at all on the JDK1.4.

Thanks

Tim
