Features

• All cryptographic operations are exposed through a small set of entry points:

  • Bruce — builder factories (cipherBuilder(), signerBuilder(), verifierBuilder(), digestBuilder(), macBuilder())

  • Keystores — keystore loading, key and certificate retrieval, key generation

  • Bytes — universal I/O type for passing data in and getting results out

• No checked exceptions cluttering your code.

• No transitive dependencies. Zero. Zilch.

• Out of the box support for:

  • key stores

  • public, private and secret keys

  • certificates

  • digital signatures

  • symmetric and asymmetric encryption

  • message digesters

  • message authentication codes

  • different encodings: Base64, Url, Mime, Hex

  • custom providers such as Bouncy Castle

• Massively unit tested and documented.

• Open Source: you don't need to trust Bruce: you can see for yourself if you like what Bruce does.
