Common Data Security Architecture

Overview | Specifications | Download Implementation

The CSSM Java API implementation uses native methods and can be bound with any Java environment supporting Sun MicroSystems’ Java Development Kit* (JDK) native method library. This includes Microsoft Jakarta* and most versions of Netscape Navigator*. The single binary provided for download at this time operates only in the Netscape Navigator 3.01 environment on Windows NT* 4.0.

The CSSM Java API provides security services through calls to the CSSM security API. CSSM and a set of add-in security modules must be resident on the system for use by the CSSM Java API implementation. CSSM and an Intel Cryptographic Services Module are available as separate downloads.

The CSSM Java API and CSSM are beta releases. The CSSM software expires, making the Java interface adapter non-functional, on April 30, 1997.
