| This package provides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic applications implementing algorithms for encryption, decryption, or |
| key agreement. |
| </p><p> |
| Stream ciphers are supported as well as asymmetric, symmetric and block ciphers. Cipher implementations from different providers can be integrated using |
| the SPI (Service Provider Interface) abstract classes. With class {@link javax.crypto.SealedObject} a programmer can secure an object by |
| encrypting it with a cipher. |

| Authentication may be based on MAC (Message Authentication Code) such as HMAC (Hash MAC, i.e. with a SHA-1 hash function). |
