Hi!

I am writing a master thesis on Java Security, including JSA and
JCA/JCE. Reading Scott Oaks book' "Java Security" I noticed that Sun has
implemented Java-classes for SSL-support (namely the SSLSocket and
SSLServerSocket classes), yet they are not part of the JCE? Any reasons
for this? Has Netscape patented the SSL-technology?

Kind regards,
