Hi,

I'm using Java 1.5. How do I figure out what security provider I'm
using?

Thanks, - Dave

Here's a general trick to solve that sort of problem.

look up the Javadoc for the object in question, e.g.
java.security.Provider.

At the top of the page is a link called "USE".

Click that. Then look for methods that return a Provider.

Scanning the list, a possible candidate looks like
Provider[] Security.getProviders
