Module description
The Biscom Cryptographic Library (the cryptographic module or the module) provides cryptographic security functions as Java APIs for application developers to integrate cryptographic services into Biscom applications or systems. The module is distributed only as an integrated subcomponent of the Biscom Delivery Server (BDS). The Biscom Cryptographic Library provides security functions for encryption, decryption, random number generation, hashing, getting the status of the integrity test, and running the self-tests. The library is used by the application.
