Cryptix JCE for Java 1.4 Released

Posted by michael on from the java-plus-crypto-equals-good dept.

Yoda2 writes "A new snapshot of the Cryptix Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE) API was released on the Cryptix.org site yesterday. You can download the file here. Among other things, this finally allows for PGP encryption/decryption of files from the Java JDK 1.4 when used in conjunction with Cryptix OpenPGP."

    I'm glad to see this is finally making progress (at least their OpenPGP implementation is no longer a developer's release...), but I imagine it'll be a while yet until it's ready for commercial use. Unfortunately, it's the only game going for Java-based PGP (except for some API out of China). This leaves me doing some rather tacky things to use GPG in a commercial environment. Why is it that there's so little interest in a real Java API for PGP?
