Module description
The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well. The module is designed to integrate with the associated Bouncy Castle APIs including those for TLS, X.509, CMS, S/MIME, TSP, PKIX, and OpenPGP.
