I should clarify that this requirement is not on BC in particular, we just need a JCE provider that supports certain digest/encryption algorithms. The SUN JDK 4 provider is missing a few, JDK 5 has them.
So if there was an alternate JCE provider, we could recommend that instead. However, I am not aware of any other open source implementations. On a side note, if we ever decided to generate our own certs (maybe cert tool of some sort), BC has an API for this, so we may eventually want to use it, or some fork without the patent issue. -Jason > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:jboss- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason T.
