One of Sun's key strategic focuses over the next few years is on "security," and to provide innovative security technologies, products, and solutions for enterprise IT customers.

The value of the ECC work is being realized throughout Sun. The development of this new security technology has a broad impact and affects many product components within Sun:

SPARC Processors Hardware Crypto Acceleration
Solaris Encryption Framework
J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) Crypto Framework
JavaCard and JCA (Java Cryptography Architecture)
SunOne Web server in JES (Java Enterprise System)
Mozilla Browser in JDS (Java Desktop System)/NSS (Netscape Security Service) library
