The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is a framework built into the JVM to allow developers to easily and securely use cryptography in their programs. It does this by providing a simple, portable interface to programmers, while using a system of JCE Providers to securely implement the underlying cry...

While the JCE secures cryptographic operations and key generation, it is up to the developer to actually manage their keys. More information needs to be provided here. One commonly-accepted best practice for handling keys at runtime is to store them only as byte arrays, and never as strings. This i...

Needs content For most applications, the java.utils.Random class is a perfectly fine source of "random" data. If you need to choose a random element from an array, or generate a random string, or create a temporary "unique" identifier, you should probably use Random. However, m...

More information needed. A cryptographic hash function is a member of a class of functions with three vital properties; consistency, uniqueness, and irreversibility. Consistency: Given the same data, a hash function will always return the same value. That is, if X = Y, f(x) will always equal f(y) ...
