Finally, 39 this package provides classes that support signed/guarded objects 40 and secure random number generation. 41 42 Many of the classes provided in this package (the cryptographic 43 and secure random number generator classes in particular) are 44 provider-based. The class itself defines a programming interface 45 to which applications may write. The implementations themselves may 46 then be written by independent third-party vendors and plugged 47 in seamlessly as needed. Therefore application developers may 48 take advantage of any number of provider-based implementations 49 without having to add or rewrite code. 50 51 <h2>Package Specification</h2> 52 53 <ul> 54 <li><a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/crypto/CryptoSpec.html"> 55 <b>Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> 56 Cryptography Architecture (JCA) Reference Guide</b></a></li> 57 58 <li>PKCS #8: Private-Key Information Syntax Standard, Version 1.2, 59 November 1993</li> 60 61 <li><a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html"> 62 <b>Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> 63 Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name 64 Documentation</b></a></li> 65 </ul> 66 67 <h2>Related Documentation</h2> 68 69 For further documentation, please see: 70 <ul> 71 <li><a href= 72 "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/spec/security-spec.doc.html"> 73 <b>Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> 74 SE Platform Security Architecture</b></a></li> 75 76 <li><a href= 77 "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/crypto/HowToImplAProvider.html"> 78 <b>How to Implement a Provider in the 79 Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> Cryptography Architecture 80 </b></a></li> 81 82 <li><a href= 83 "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/PolicyFiles.html"><b> 84 Default Policy Implementation and Policy File Syntax 85 </b></a></li> 86 87 <li><a href= 88 "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/permissions.html"><b> 89 Permissions in the 90 Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> SE Development Kit (JDK) 91 </b></a></li> 92 93 <li><a href= 94 "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/SecurityToolsSummary.html"><b> 95 Summary of Tools for 96 Java<FONT SIZE=-2><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> Platform Security 97 </b></a></li> 98 99 <li><b>keytool</b> 100 (<a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/tools/solaris/keytool.html"> 101 for Solaris/Linux</a>) 102 (<a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html"> 103 for Windows</a>) 104 </li> 105 106 <li><b>jarsigner</b> 107 (<a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/tools/solaris/jarsigner.html"> 108 for Solaris/Linux</a>) 109 (<a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/tools/windows/jarsigner.html"> 110 for Windows</a>) 111 </li> 112 113 </ul> 114 115 @since 1.1 116 </body> 117 </html>
