Best check with rsdio, but this API was a package made available 
separately by Sun, but included with GNU-Crypto, so it appeared when we 
merged GNU-Crypto into Classpath. It seems Sun have made some slight 
changes to the API for the version in 1.5.

It's completely vital for internet messaging-based frameworks in any 
case.
