That is correct. The security project was needed early in the JXTA 
project to provide important crypto functionality which was not 
available as part of Java. The needed functionality has since been added 
to Java so the security project is no longer needed. The project is 
retained so as not to break web links to the documents it contains.

You should use the javax.crypto packages in conjunction with JXTA.
