Use JCE Provider for JSSE

As far as I know, it is not possible to use a jce provider for the cryptographic operations of the jsse reference implementation. The sun implementation uses the algorithms implemented in the jsse provider.

There was a statement from sun, that this may change with the integration of jsse in the jdk 1.4, but with the current beta this is not the case.

Does anybody know a jsse implementation which supports the use of a third party jce provider? Actually we want to use our own smart card based jce provider to provide a jsse compatible java ssl implementation.

You might want to check out a product called iSaSiLk from iaik http://jcewww.iaik.at.

I have used this product in the past. Seemed to be quite openly designed.

iSaSiLk supports the use of third party JCE provider.

However, they do not claim the product to be compiant with the JSSE standard.

Did you ever come up with an open source solution to this problem? Or is the commercial solution the only way?

Looks like the JDK 1.4 beta 3 and RC 1 release use JCE providers if

they are configured in the provider list before the JSSE provider.

There are a couple places in the Ref guide, but check out...
