Installing the GNU Crypto Provider

The GNU Crypto provider is implemented in the class gnu.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto, and is available by the name "GNU Crypto". You can install this provider at run-time by including in your program a statement such as:

     java.security.Security.addProvider(new gnu.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto());
     

Or by putting the following in your security properties file, usually located at ${JRE_HOME}/lib/security/${VM_NAME}.security:

     security.provider.N=gnu.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto
     

Where `N' is the appropriate preference number. Doing this, and asserting that the gnu-crypto.jar file is in your classpath, will complete the installation of the provider.
