Pekka Nikander's Jacob 3 project

Jacob was an open source protocol framework written in Java. There are a few publications which explain, among other things, the ideas behind it. For example, have a look at the following.

• Pekka Nikander and Juha Pärssinen, "A Java Beans Framework for Cryptographic Protocols," in Mohammed Fayad, Douglas Schmidt and Ralph Johnson (Editors), Implementing Applications Frameworks, Wiley, Sep 1999.
• Pekka Nikander and Arto Karila, "A Java Beans Component Architecture for Cryptographic Protocols," in Proceedings of the 7th USENIX Security Symposium, San Antonio, Texas, Usenix Association, 26-29 January 1998

Some of my publications are available at my publications page.
