pool · This module is part of the crypto4j library, providing a simple and pluggable crypto abstraction library for Java. This particular Maven module contains classes to facilitate object pooling and pool management.
primitives · This module is part of the crypto4j library, providing a simple and pluggable crypto abstraction library for Java. This particular Maven module is a container for implementations of cryptographic primitives.
crypto4j Parent · The crypto4j library provides a simple and pluggable crypto abstraction library for Java, including both cryptographic primitives and the artifacts defined in the JOSE standard. This library separates the cryptographic primitives from the JOSE artifacts. The library uses the algorithms available through JCA (JCE). The implementations of the cryptographic primitives provided in this library rely on the standard JCA implementation, and can be configured and extended through the JCA mechanisms. The JOSE portion of the library allows custom extensions by either replacing the provided JOSE artifact implementations with custom implementations, or by adding new JOSE artifacts, for instance in form of additional algorithms, which is particularly useful in case that the JOSE standard is updated or in case custom extensions to the JOSE standard should be implemented. The implementations available in this library generally come in two variants: a standard implementation of the primitives and advanced algorithms, and a high-performance implementation that takes advantage of implementation patterns that do not compromise cryprographic security, but speed up the overall processing time.
