I'm curious about the relationship between JSSE and JSS.  Some of the 
questions I have are the following:

Can I use JSS as a cryptographic "provider" for JSSE?  It's been a while 
since I worked with this, but I do recall JSSE needed a provider to 
supply the actual encryptions libraries.  It seems JSS, by virtue of 
having NSS under it, could potentially provide that functionality.

How portable is JSSE based code wrt JSS? That is, if I write code that 
runs wtih the default encryption provider in JSSE, will that code work 
with JSSE - perhaps with a minor tweek to tell it where to find the 
crypto provider?

Is there a union and a difference between the sets of functionality 
provided by each package?

What is that union?

Does that union constitute identical method signatures?

What are the advantages and dissadvantages of each package?
