Java Cryptographic Architecture (JCA)
A framework that provides cryptographic functionalities in Java applications.
Understanding:
JCA is a framework for cryptographic operations in Java, providing APIs for encryption, hashing, key management, and digital signatures.
Common Applications and Use Cases:
Secure Data Transmission – Encrypts sensitive communications.
Digital Signatures & Certificates – Ensures authenticity and integrity.
Password Hashing & Storage – Uses strong cryptographic algorithms.
Best Practices and Security Considerations:
Use Strong, Industry-Standard Algorithms – AES, SHA-256, RSA, etc.
Enforce Secure Key Management – Prevents key exposure.
Regularly Update Java Security Providers – Protects against vulnerabilities.
