  Programming Lang: Java
  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.
