CrococryptLib

CrococryptLib for Java and Android: The easiest way to integrate encryption into your application

With this library, anybody can write encryption and other crypto services!

• Do you know about AES block cipher modes like CBC or parameters like initialization vectors?
• Do you know how to easily encode, store and transmit encrypted data?
• Do you care about secure storage of passwords or password-based encryption?
• Use industry standards like PBKDF2 and PKCS #5 with auto-secure settings like HMAC, iteration count and salt.

CrococryptLib provides an easy way to integrate encryption into your own application. No in-depth cryptography knowledge is required, save development time & budget... .

Features

• Compact encryption format: Auto selection and storage of security parameters in one compact format. This includes keysizes, initialization vectors, iteration counts, salt and hash lengths.
• Easy and secure hash and validation of user passwords
• Password-based encryption including key wrapping and support for password changes
• Default hash: PBKDF2 (PKCS #5), HMAC with SHA512, 512 Bit hash, 512 Bit salt
• Strong encryption by default: AES 256 Bit, CBC mode, secure auto-generation of new initialization vectors (IV)
• Any JCE-available symmetric cipher can be used alternatively - like Twofish, Serpent, Blowfish, 3DES, GOST etc.
• Easy encoding into binary (less storage space), Base64, Hex, JSON, files or arbitrary stream objects. Choose any format also for databases.
• Through the compact format all keys and encryption values can be stored in a single column, field, or property. No further management overhead.
• Every value is stored independently
• Individual accounts can have different algorithm strength. Example: For performance reasons you might go with a lower iteration count for user passwords, but you want a high iteration count for administration accounts. No problem using CrococryptLib!
