Introducing crypto-utils: A Lightweight Java Cryptography Library

Happy to launch a Java library developed on my own to simplify encryption and decryption using industry-standard algorithms. It provides a straightforward API for handling cryptographic operations while ensuring robust security. Why crypto-utils? Modern applications demand secure data handling without the overhead of complex configurations. crypto-utils meets that need with a few key features: 1.AES/GCM/NoPadding Encryption Leverages AES in GCM mode to provide both confidentiality and data integrity without requiring additional padding. 2.Robust Key Generation Generates a secure 256-bit key, ensuring your cryptographic operations meet modern security standards. 3.User-Friendly API Simplifies the process of encryption, decryption, and key management, making it accessible even for developers with minimal cryptography experience. 4.Trusted Provider Integration Utilizes the renowned Bouncy Castle provider for reliable and extensive cryptographic support. Okay it works this way: Encryption: Every time data is encrypted, a random initialization vector (IV) is generated. The IV is prepended to the ciphertext, and the combined result is Base64-encoded for easy storage and transmission. 2.Decryption: During decryption, the IV is extracted from the encoded string and used to correctly convert the ciphertext back to its original plaintext. 3.Key Management: The library offers methods to generate keys, serialize them into a string, and later deserialize them back into a usable format. This simplifies secure key storage and sharing. Getting Started Integrating crypto-utils into your project is easy. The library is available as a Maven artifact. Simply add the following dependency and repository to your project's pom.xml: github GitHub Packages https://maven.pkg.github.com/Lewi217/crypto-utils com.github.Lewi217 crypto-utils 1.0.1 Contributions to any features are all welcomed!!

Introducing crypto-utils: A Lightweight Java Cryptography Library

Happy to launch a Java library developed on my own to simplify encryption and decryption using industry-standard algorithms. It provides a straightforward API for handling cryptographic operations while ensuring robust security.

Why crypto-utils?

Modern applications demand secure data handling without the overhead of complex configurations. crypto-utils meets that need with a few key features:

1.AES/GCM/NoPadding Encryption
Leverages AES in GCM mode to provide both confidentiality and data integrity without requiring additional padding.

2.Robust Key Generation
Generates a secure 256-bit key, ensuring your cryptographic operations meet modern security standards.

3.User-Friendly API
Simplifies the process of encryption, decryption, and key management, making it accessible even for developers with minimal cryptography experience.

4.Trusted Provider Integration
Utilizes the renowned Bouncy Castle provider for reliable and extensive cryptographic support.

Okay it works this way:

Encryption: Every time data is encrypted, a random initialization vector (IV) is generated. The IV is prepended to the ciphertext, and the combined result is Base64-encoded for easy storage and transmission.

2.Decryption:
During decryption, the IV is extracted from the encoded string and used to correctly convert the ciphertext back to its original plaintext.

3.Key Management:
The library offers methods to generate keys, serialize them into a string, and later deserialize them back into a usable format. This simplifies secure key storage and sharing.

Getting Started

Integrating crypto-utils into your project is easy. The library is available as a Maven artifact. Simply add the following dependency and repository to your project's pom.xml:

    
        
            github
            GitHub Packages
            https://maven.pkg.github.com/Lewi217/crypto-utils
