Class SymmetricEncryption

java.lang.Object

org.lsc.utils.security.SymmetricEncryption

public class SymmetricEncryption
extends Object

This new class allows symmetric encryption. You should have BouncyCastle installed. Three new configuration parameters could be added to the configuration:

• lsc>security>encryption>keyfile: the path to the file used to encrypt/decrypt data
• lsc>security>encryption>algorithm: the algorithm to use
• lsc>security>encryption>strength: the strength in bits
