byteorder of java objects

2000-04-03 Thread Seth R Arnold
Greetings everyone, I am in the designing stages of writing a cryptographic program in Java. I would like to take instances of Object and encrypt them before sending them to another Java client. My question: can I run Objects through a method encryptObjectUsingThisKey(Object o, Key k) on one comp
