Java Cryptography

Standard Names

Asking for algorithms by name implies that there is a standard name for each cryptographic algorithm. Table 3.3 shows the standard algorithm names that are supported by the SUN provider (supplied with JDK 1.2) and the SunJCE provider (part of the JCE). For more information on the algorithms themselves, refer back to Chapter 2.
