Yes is true. But I didn’t know about that at that moment or the feature was not available

Hi,

It’s not necessary that you installs the provider on the JVM. If you put the BC provider before the SunJCE provider in the list, the BC works fine. You can do this programatically doing:

Security.insertProviderAt(new BouncyCastleProvider(),1);

1 specifies the priority for this provider.

Hey great post! Thanks for putting this up. One thing that might make it a little simpler would be to skip the jaring.

first
$ javac SimpleTest.java

then
$ java SimpleTest.class

Thank you very much – this post helped alot!

I had this problem when invoking BC during an ant run (it worked fine when starting the target through a main() method in the java class).
However, it isn’t really necessary to add the provider to the java.security properties file (found this out because I had a typo in the key and it worked anyways).

Thanks again!
