I am implementing a data transfer model in Java. I have implemented DES
, 3DES
and AES
in my application, and I am interested in knowing if there is any other encryption types that can be included?
The three major encryption types are DES, AES, and RSA. While there are many kinds of encryption - more than can easily be explained here - we will take a look at these three significant types of encryption that consumers use every day.
There are two types of encryption in widespread use today: symmetric and asymmetric encryption. The name derives from whether or not the same key is used for encryption and decryption.
Symmetric, or secret key encryption, uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. Symmetric key encryption is used for encrypting large amounts of data efficiently. 256-bit AES keys are symmetric keys. Asymmetric, or public/private encryption, uses a pair of keys.
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. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to implement AES encryption and decryption using the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) within the JDK.
You can use all of JCE's algorithms available to the cryptographic provider in use. For example, here are some of the algorithms available for Bouncy Castle, a popular JCE provider.
