5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikusProvides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic operations. The
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikuscryptographic operations defined in this package include encryption,
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikuskey generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikus(MAC) generation.
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikus<p>Support for encryption includes symmetric, asymmetric, block, and
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikusstream ciphers. This package also supports secure streams and sealed
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikus<p>Many of the classes provided in this package are provider-based. The
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikusclass itself defines a programming interface to which applications may
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikuswrite. The implementations themselves may then be written by
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikusindependent third-party vendors and plugged in seamlessly as needed.
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikusTherefore application developers may take advantage of any number of
5a3bd0ef762b8a3238869ac9963194555e39e6a7jpikusprovider-based implementations without having to add or rewrite code.
