Providing Crypto Algorithm Support

Providing Crypto Algorithm Support

To use the NTLM module, the following crypto algorithms must be present in the JVM:

DES
HMAC_MD5
MD4
MD5

To add support for these crypto algorithms, you can use any suitable custom or third-party JCE provider, depending on the JDK version.

JDK 1.1.8 or JDK 1.3.x

For JDK 1.1.8 or JDK 1.3.x, you can use, for example, the Cryptix libraries version 3.2.0, available at http://www.cryptix.org

JDK 1.4.x+

For JDK 1.4.x+, you can use any custom or third-party JCE provider, using the standard JCE configuration syntax as follows:
import java.security.Security;
 
import <custom or 3rd party JCE provider class>;
 
Security.addProvider(new <custom or 3rd party JCE provider class>());
 

 
For example, you can use the Bouncy Castle libraries available at http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html
