Master the basics of Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)
The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is now a core part of Java SDK 1.4. Basically, it's a set of packages that provide a framework and implementations for encryption, key generation and agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms. This article will explore the installation and utilization of JCE.

Who Trusts the Trustees? Trusted Security Providers in the Java Cryptography Extension 1.2.1
In a reasonable world, the JDK would contain a standard java.crypto package as part of the core API. Regrettably, U.S. export laws prohibit the export of cryptographic software without special permission.

Construct secure networked applications with certificates, Part 3
Certificates and public-key cryptography are great when private keys remain private. When a private key is exposed, either accidentally or maliciously, the security provided by public-key cryptography ends.

Construct secure networked applications with certificates, Part 2
Although it's not the only runner in the certificate race, the X.509 certificate standard is so far ahead that its eventual victory is all but guaranteed.

Construct secure networked applications with certificates, Part 1
Public-key cryptography's importance to network security must not be overlooked. However, trust issues challenge public-key cryptography's usage in enterprise-scale settings.
