[Clockwork-developers] Ciphers available in Java

[Joel L. <jo...@lo...>]

While the JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) provider built into the JDK 1.4
(SunJCE provider) doesn't support a tremendous amount of ciphers, I've
found another provider that does. Check out Cryptix JCE at:

http://cryptix.org/products/jce/index.html

This is a pure Java implementation of a JCE provider that supports lots
more ciphers, including AES, all under a free license. The catch: it's
"early access" quality.

If you're interested in seeing how JCE is used, I've attached a tiny
example program I used to encrypt a short string with AES. I had to beat
my head against the wall for quite a while to make this work before I
figured out that instead of asking for the "AES" algorithm I should ask for
the "Rijndael" algorithm.
