Class BouncyCastleProvider

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,​java.lang.Object>

    public final class BouncyCastleProvider
    extends java.security.Provider
    To add the provider at runtime use:
     import java.security.Security;
     import org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;
    
     Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
     
    The provider can also be configured as part of your environment via static registration by adding an entry to the java.security properties file (found in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security, where $JAVA_HOME is the location of your JDK/JRE distribution). You'll find detailed instructions in the file but basically it comes down to adding a line:
     
        security.provider.<n>=org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
     
     
    Where <n> is the preference you want the provider at (1 being the most prefered).

    Note: JCE algorithm names should be uppercase only so the case insensitive test for getInstance works.
