Provides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic operations. The
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke

    32
cryptographic operations defined in this package include encryption,
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

parents:

    33
key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

(MAC) generation.

<p>Support for encryption includes symmetric, asymmetric, block, and
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:

    37
stream ciphers. This package also supports secure streams and sealed

objects.

<p>Many of the classes provided in this package are provider-based.  The
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    41
class itself defines a programming interface to which applications may
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    42
write.  The implementations themselves may then be written by
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    43
independent third-party vendors and plugged in seamlessly as needed.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    44
Therefore application developers may take advantage of any number of
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    45
provider-based implementations without having to add or rewrite code.
