What is AES encryption in Java?

AES, Advanced Encryption Standard is a block ciphertext encryption and decryption algorithm that processes a block of 128 bits of data using secret keys of 128, 192, or 256 bits. We will also discuss how this algorithm can be implemented using the Java programming language.

What is the best encryption algorithm in Java?

The symmetric-key block cipher plays an important role in data encryption. It means that the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely used symmetric-key encryption algorithm.

Is Bouncy Castle part of Java?

BouncyCastle is a Java library that complements the default Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE).

If you download the bcprov source, you'll see the class org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.test.AESTest. It shows you how to set up the bouncyCastle provider, create encryption and decryption Cipher objects, set up CipherOutputStreams and call the write methods on those streams.

Edit: seems like link is broken. Look here for AESTest
