| * Provides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic |
| * operations. The cryptographic operations defined in this package |
| * include encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message |
| * Authentication Code (MAC) generation. |
| * |
| * <p>Support for encryption includes symmetric, asymmetric, block, |
| * and stream ciphers. This package also supports secure streams and |
| * sealed objects. |
| * |
| * <p>Many of the classes provided in this package are provider-based. |
| * The class itself defines a programming interface to which |
| * applications may write. The implementations themselves may then be |
| * written by independent third-party vendors and plugged in |
| * seamlessly as needed. Therefore application developers may take |
| * advantage of any number of provider-based implementations without |
| * having to add or rewrite code. |
