Subject: Structure of JCE
Hello,
currently I am working on a project to include some cryptographic
security in a three-tier application. I am a german student, so the
possiblities to receive cryptographic products from the USA are not
very good.
Because you are not allowed to export the JCE at the moment (only at
the moment?), I want to implement some of these algorithms myself.
Well, probably using some existing implementations.
Since there is already some standard environment for Java in the JCA,
which looks quite good in my eyes, I would like to implement these
algorithms in a new provider conforming to the JCE interfaces.
Until now unfortunately I can not figure out, how to include for example
RSA key generation (Whats the format of the keys? ) or how to include
an standard encryption algorithm like DES, IDEA etc. Are there engine
classes similar to those for the hash algorithms?
If you could at least give me some information about the external
structure of the JCE, I would be very pleased.
Thanks in advance, Moritz
