There is no such document for JCE 1.2 at this point in time.
There will be one for FCS, though.

Providing algorithm implementations for JCE 1.2 is done in the same
fashion as for JDK 1.2

The document

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/security/HowToImplAProvider.html

describes all the steps involved with respect to JDK 1.1.x.

Note that this document has been updated for JDK 1.2. The updated version
will be made available with JDK 1.2 beta3, which will be out shortly.
