All,

just to jump in here - I've never looked at TSIK but
due to the discussions here I got the idea that TSIK
implements all the functions required to do WSS. WSS4J
reuses a lot of functions implemented elsewhere (XML-SEC,
Bouncycastle, Axis, just to name a few). Is that
a correct understanding?

Just to get  better feeling about TSIK I would like
to have a look at it - some pointers where to find
it?

Regards,
Werner
