Class BouncyCastleProvider

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.util.Dictionary<K,V>
      extended by java.util.Hashtable<Object,Object>
          extended by java.util.Properties
              extended by java.security.Provider
                  extended by org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>

public final class BouncyCastleProvider
extends Provider

To add the provider at runtime use:

 import java.security.Security;
 import org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;

 Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
 
The provider can also be configured as part of your environment via static registration by adding an entry to the java.security properties file (found in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security, where $JAVA_HOME is the location of your JDK/JRE distribution). You'll find detailed instructions in the file but basically it comes down to adding a line:
 
    security.provider.<n>=org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
 
 
Where <n> is the preference you want the provider at (1 being the most prefered).

Note: JCE algorithm names should be uppercase only so the case insensitive test for getInstance works.
