This document (for 1.1.x) will help you further:

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

There have been some updates for JDK1.2, which you will be able to
read when the first beta release of JDK1.2 becomes publicly available
(which will be very soon, so stay tuned for any announcements).
