For a long time, there has been a need for a practical,
down-to-earth developers book for the Java Cryptography Extension.
I am very happy to see there is now a book that can answer many of
the technical questions that developers, managers, and researchers
have about such a critical topic. I am sure that this book will
contribute greatly to the success of securing Java applications and
deployments for e-business. --Anthony Nadalin, Java Security Lead
Architect, IBM
For many Java developers and software engineers, cryptography is an
"on-demand" programming exercise, where cryptographic concepts are
shelved until the next project requires renewed focus. But
considerations for cryptography must be made early on in the design
process and it s imperative that developers know what kinds of
solutions exist.
One of Java s solutions to help bridge the gap between academic
research and real-world problem solving comes in the form of a
well-defined architecture for implementing cryptographic solutions.
However, to use the architecture and its extensions, it is
important to recognize the pros and cons of different cryptographic
algorithms and to know how to implement various devices like key
agreements, digital signatures, and message digests, to name a few.
In Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE), cryptography is discussed at
the level that developers need to know to work with the JCE and
with their own applications but that doesn t overwhelm by packing
in details unimportant to the busy professional. The JCE is
explored using numerous code examples and instructional detail,
with clearly presented sections on each aspect of the Java library.
An online open-source cryptography toolkit and the code for all of
the examples further reinforces the concepts covered within the
book. No other resource presents so concisely or effectively the
exact material needed to begin utilizing the JCE.
* Written by a seasoned veteran of both cryptography and
server-side programming
* Covers the architecture of the JCE, symmetric ciphers, asymmetric
ciphers, message digests, message authentication codes, digital
signatures, and managing keys and certificates
* Includes a companion web site that contains the code for the
examples in the book, open-source cryptographic toolkits, and
further resources"
