Welcome

Welcome to the home of the Legion of the Bouncy Castle Java cryptography APIs.

spacer

The Bouncy Castle Crypto APIs for Java consist of the following:

  • A lightweight cryptography API.

  • A provider for the Java Cryptography Extension and the Java Cryptography Architecture.

  • A clean room implementation of the JCE 1.2.1.

  • A library for reading and writing encoded ASN.1 objects.

  • A lightweight client-side TLS API.

  • Generators for Version 1 and Version 3 X.509 certificates, Version 2 CRLs, and PKCS12 files.

  • Generators for Version 2 X.509 attribute certificates.

  • Generators/Processors for S/MIME and CMS (PKCS7/RFC 3852).

  • Generators/Processors for OCSP (RFC 2560).

  • Generators/Processors for TSP (RFC 3161 & RFC 5544).

  • Generators/Processors for CMP and CRMF (RFC 4210 & RFC 4211).

  • Generators/Processors for OpenPGP (RFC 4880).

  • A signed jar versions suitable for JDK 1.4-1.7 and the Sun JCE.

The lightweight API works with everything from the J2ME to the JDK 1.6 and we now provide certificate generation, PKCS/CMS/CRMF/CMP/TSP and OpenPGP support across the full range of JDKs.

Except where otherwise stated, software produced by this site is covered by the following license.

News

Java Release 1.47 is now available for download.

Friday 23rd March 2012

This release includes further clean up work, and the OpenPGP API is now fully usable via operator interfaces similar to what were added for CMS in the previous release. The number of light weight operator implementations has been expanded and as a result certificate generation, OpenPGP, CMS, CRMF, CMP, PKCS and OCSP are now supported across all JDK releases including the J2ME (except for compression). In addition, this release adds support for EAC (Extended Access Control) certificates and a light weight version of NTRU and classes involved in CRL manipulation have been rewritten so as to support extremely large CRLs. A number of bugs and a 1.46 regression on processing PEM files have also been fixed.
