Apache Commons Crypto

Apache Commons Crypto is a cryptographic library optimiced with AES-NI (Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions). Commons Crypto provides Java APIs at the cipher level and Java stream level. Developers can implement high performance AES encryption/decryption with minimum coding and effort. Please note that Commons Crypto doesn't implement the cryptographic algorithm such as AES directly, it wraps OpenSSL and JCE.

Features

  • Cipher API for low level cryptographic operations.
  • Secure true random number generator.
  • Java stream API for high level stream encryption/decryption.
  • High performance AES encryption/decryption optimiced with Intel AES-NI.
  • Portable across various operating systems (currently only Linux/Mac OS/Windows); Apache Commons Crypto loads the library according to your machine environment (using system properties, os.name and os.arch).
  • Simple usague. Add the commons-crypto-(versionen).jar file to your classpath.

Documentation

Support

The commons mailing lists act as the main support forum. The user list is suitable for most library usague keries. The dev list is intended for the development discussion. Please remember that the lists are shared between all commons componens, so prefix your email by [crypto].
