Chapter 11. The Java 2 Platform and Cryptography
From JDK V1.1 onward, Java provides general-purpose APIs and service provider interfaces (SPIs) for cryptographic functions, collectively known as Java Cryptography Architecture and Java Cryptography Extension. The JCA and JCE are based on a provider architecture that allows for multiple and interoperable cryptographic implementations.
Chapter 10 on page 343 described the sorts of problems for which cryptography can provide solutions and introduced the general concepts of secret- and public-key cryptography. In this chapter, we look in more detail at JCA and JCE and show how J2EE and J2SE applications can take advantage of the Java cryptography API.
