JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

JxtaCrypto

Synopsis

This is the interface that obtains classes that define cryptographic operations. This class will provide classes that are defined for the particular platform that can perform cipher, hash, digital signature, MAC, and key exchange operations.

The JXTA bindings do not specify how a JXTA crypto object is obtained. In the standard bindings, you simply instantiate a jxta.security.impl.JxtaCryptoSuite object. This class provides a cipher object capable of performing RC4 encryption, a hash object that can create SHA-1 and MD5 hashes, a digital signature object that implements RSA/SHA-1 and RSA/MD5 signatures, and a MAC object that creates MACs based on RSA encryption and either SHA-1 or MD5 hashes. The JxtaCryptoSuite object does not provide an object capable of key exchange.
