The GNU Crypto team is proud to anounce the release of the first version 
of the gnu.crypto library.

GNU Crypto is a 100% Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms and 
tools, and includes a Java Cryptographic Provider implementation to 
allow its use through the Java JCA framework and APIs.

GNU Crypto includes, in addition to the now standard cryptographic 
primitives (MD5, SHA-1, AES, etc.), implementations of new and 
experimental cryptographic primitives and transforms such as Universal 
Hash Algorithms (UMAC32, TMMH-16 v1), the Universal Security Transform 
(UST), and others.

More details on the rationale, and contents of the library can be found 
on the project's home page at: 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/crypto/crypto.html>. 
Deliverables are available from: <xxx>
