Latest Java Releases

Release 1.43 is now available for download.

This is a bug fix release. Multiple countersignatures in CMS/SMIME messages are now correctly collected, hashCode() for X509Name is now fully consistent with it's equals() method, and the HC-128, HC-256 implementations have had a sign expansion bug fixed and are now fully compliant with the latest Ecrypt test vectors.

Security Warning: HC-128 and HC-256 were horribly broken, if you looking at using either of these two ciphers in Bouncy Castle, you need to be using this release (yes, the previous implementations passed the original test vectors, but...).

For further details on changes and enhancements please see the release notes.

As always, others have contributed to this release. You can find them listed in the contributors file. Thank you, one and all!

If you're interested in grabbing the lot in one hit (includes JCE, JCE provider, light weight API, J2ME, JDK1.2, JDK1.1, and JDK1.0 compatibility classes, signed jars, fries, and king prawns...) download crypto-143.tar.gz or crypto-143.zip, otherwise if you are only interested in one version in particular, see below.

Signed JAR files

From release 1.40 the implementation of the IDEA encryption algorithm was removed from the regular jar files at the request of a number of users. Jars with names of the form *-ext-* still include the IDEA implementation.
