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. > Thanks in advance for any replies > Neil
