libbcprov-java for Debian
=========================
In order to use this library, add the following to your classpath:
/usr/share/java/bcprov.jar
Alternatively, the jar can be installed as an optional package by linking it
from $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext.
Installing Bouncy Castle as a Security Provider
-----------------------------------------------
From the BouncyCastleProvider javadocs:
To add the provider at runtime use:
import java.security.Security;
import org.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.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
Where <n> is the preference you want the provider at (1 being the most
preferred).
Bouncy Castle as a Trusted Security Provider
--------------------------------------------
The Debian release of Bouncy Castle can not currently be used as a trusted
security provider, as the jar has not been signed by a trusted CA. This is a
non-issue for free JVMs, as they don't currently have a notion of trusted
CAs.
