Description : high level, general purpose Java cryptographic library
General-purpose Java cryptograhic library, which complements the Bouncy
Castle libraries, that has the following design goals:
.
* Flexible JCE provider. Prefers the Bouncy Castle Java Provider, but
can fall back to other providers defined in the environment for
algorithms not implemented by BC.
* Ease of use for common cryptographic operations. A one liner
highlights this well; the following prints the MD5 hash of a password
as a string of HEX characters:
System.out.println(new MD5().digest(passBytes, new HexConverter()));
* Convenient and performant handling of cryptographic operations on
large data streams.
* Support for base-64 and hexadecimal encoding of ciphertext input/output.
* Support for I/O operations on cryptographic primitives including
generating and writing symmetric encryption keys, public/private key
pairs, and X.509 certificates. Both PEM and DER encoding is handled
conveniently.
* Command line interface for each class of cryptographic operation
(digest, symmetric encryption, public-key encryption, message signing,
etc). A command line interface for keystore operations is also
included, which is notable as it supports features above and beyond
the the Java keytool utility.
.
It is important to note that no cryptographic algorithms are implemented;
Bouncy Castle provides all cryptographic algorithms where required.
