Our client base is the avergae joe public. Talking to guys at work, we
should be able to use our curent encryption code in a java applet without
having to use the java-plugin - our code is 1.1.6 compliant, at least this
one area is. In any case, our users have to have java installed on their
desktop for other aspects of our application (1.3 jre) so they'll probably
have the plugin too - at least on windows.
