Subject: JCE and FIPS 140-1 Compliancy
Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 04:17:07 -0500
I am a consultant for a large company that is using Java/CORBA for a
distributed application. The software has to be FIPS 140-1 compliant, which
is not supported with any implementation of CORBA that we have found thus
far.
We have made a significant investment with Java to date (software
prototypes) and are hoping that there is a Java FIPS 140-1 solution.
Netscape offers an internal FIPS 140-1 solution but that would require us to
use CGI or some other back end means (Java servlets/etc.) to meet this
standard.
Can you help me understand how the Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE) would
be used in the above environment.
Thanks,
Rob Lurie
