wolfCrypt JNI/JCE 1.6.0 is now available for download!
wolfCrypt JNI/JCE provides Java-based applications with an easy way to use the native wolfCrypt cryptography library. The thin JNI wrapper can be used for direct JNI calls into native wolfCrypt, or the JCE provider (wolfJCE) can be registered as a Java Security provider for seamless integration underneath the Java Security API. wolfCrypt JNI/JCE also supports running on top of wolfCrypt FIPS 140-2 and the upcoming wolfCrypt 140-3 modules for easy conformance to FIPS cryptography requirements in your Java-based application or service.
Release 1.6.0 contains a significant number of bug fixes, changes, and new features to help better support application usage of the Java Security APIs as well as 3rd party Java frameworks that consume JCE providers internally. This release adds new JCE class implementations, new algorithm modes, Windows support, and improves automated testing with GitHub Actions across several Java JDK implementations and versions.
