The 32cryptographic operations defined in this package include encryption, 33key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code 34(MAC) generation. 35 36<p>Support for encryption includes symmetric, asymmetric, block, and 37stream ciphers. This package also supports secure streams and sealed 38objects. 39 40<p>Many of the classes provided in this package are provider-based. The 41class itself defines a programming interface to which applications may 42write. The implementations themselves may then be written by 43independent third-party vendors and plugged in seamlessly as needed. 44Therefore application developers may take advantage of any number of 45provider-based implementations without having to add or rewrite code. 46 47<h2>Package Specification</h2> 48 49<ul> 50 <li><a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html"><b> 51 <b>Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> 52 Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name 53 Documentation</b></a></li> 54</ul> 55 56<h2>Related Documentation</h2> 57 58For further documentation, please see: 59<ul> 60 <li> 61 <a href= 62 "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/crypto/CryptoSpec.html"> 63 <b>Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> 64 Cryptography Architecture (JCA) Reference Guide 65 </b></a></li> 66 <li> 67 <a href= 68 "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/crypto/HowToImplAProvider.html"> 69 <b>How to Implement a Provider in the 70 Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> Cryptography Architecture 71 </b></a></li> 72</ul> 73 74@since 1.4 75</body> 76</html> 77
