Class BouncyCastleProvider

java.lang.Object
java.util.Dictionary<Object,Object>
java.util.Hashtable<Object,Object>
java.util.Properties
java.security.Provider
org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>
public final class BouncyCastleProvider extends Provider
To add the provider at runtime use: 
import java.security.Security;
import org.gudy.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.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
Where <n> is the preference you want the provider at (1 being the most prefered).

Note: JCE algorithm names should be uppercase only so the case insensitive test for getInstance works.
