Review on BouncyCastle Crypto by George Kapoor
Very useful in making sure your encrypted files aren't readable
The library has been very helpful to implement cryptographic functions for our project, it's easy-to use when compared with other libraries like Java Cryptography Extension (JCE).
It works well but I think that they could improve some things such as more documentation about its usage or maybe even add an online tutorial so people can learn how this tool really work without having problems later using them. We are developing web applications where we need security features and encryption tools because all information will be stored into databases which have sensitive data from customers' personal informations until their accounts details.
Pros
- Easy way in implementing AES algorithms.
- Very fast processing speed
- Fast implementation process; )Easy installation procedure,
- Good support team if you ever get stuck while trying something new!
Cons
- Documentation should include examples instead only code snippets,
- Too many dependencies between packages
- Not enough tutorials available
