java-cryptography-wrapper

This is a small library to simplify the API into the Java cryptography routines. It's designed to minimise the knowledge needed of the Java API, so you can implement encryption and decryption with a few API calls.

There are some unit tests which provide examples of how to use the API provided. If you want to use this library for Public/Private key encryption (Asymmetric Encryption), I would recommend using the Two Level Encryption method provided which encrypts the data with a unique symmetric key and then encrypts that key using the private key of the key pair.

I offer no guarantees around the eternal security of the methods used, but they form the basis of how the Enterprise Password Safe works which has been in use by companies and government organisations for over 15 years.

Published Artifact

The versions of this library are published on my maven repository, to reference them in a Gradle build you will need to add the following to the repositories block for your build;

    maven {
        url = uri("http://maven.alsutton.com/")
        content {
          includeGroup "alsutton.com"
        }
    }

Then you can add the dependency like this;

    implementation("com.alsutton:java-cryptography-wrapper:1.0")
