New Java Encryption Tool Readied

Jasypt 1.4 can be integrated with Spring Framework, Hibernate and Acegi Security.
The team behind the Jasypt Java encryption tool is rolling out Jasypt 1.4.

Jasypt is a Java library that enables developers to add basic encryption capabilities to their projects with minimum effort and without having to know much about cryptography, developers involved with the project said.

Jasypt, also known as Java Simplified Encryption, is an open-source project hosted on Sourceforge.net. New features in version 1.4, which was announced Nov. 23, include encryptable properties files and Spring Framework integration, encryptable Hibernate data source configuration, new command line tools, Apache wicket integration for URL encryption and upgraded documentation.

According to the Jasypt documentation, the technology can be used for encryption tasks associated with applications, such as encrypting passwords, sensitive information and data communications, and creating sums for integrity checking of data.

Other features include high-security, standards-based encryption techniques, both for unidirectional and bidirectional encryption to encrypt passwords, texts, numbers and binaries. Jasypt also can integrate with Acegi Security, which is also known as Spring Security. The Jasypt technology also has integrated capabilities for encrypting the configuration of applications, and features an open API for use with any Java Cryptography Extension provider.

Jasypt also follows the RSA standards for password-based cryptography, and provides both no-configuration encryption tools for users new to encryption, and highly configurable standard encryption tools for power-users.

开源Java加密工具Jasypt 1.4发布

       与项目有关的一位开发者表示，Jasypt是一个Java库，可以使开发者不需太多操作来给Java项目添加基本加密功能，而且不需要知道加密原理。

       Jasypt也即Java Simplified Encryption是Sourceforge.net上的一个开源项目。在当地时间11月23号的通告中，Jasypt 1.4的新特征包括：加密属性文件（encryptable properties files）、Spring Framework集成、加密Hibernate数据源配置、新的命令行工具、URL加密的Apache wicket集成以及升级文档。

       根据Jasypt文档，该技术可用于加密任务与应用程序，例如加密密码、敏感信息和数据通信、创建完整检查数据的sums。

       其他性能包括高安全性、基于标准的加密技术、可同时单向和双向加密的加密密码、文本、数字和二进制文件。Jasypt也可以与Acegi Security整合也即Spring Security。Jasypt亦拥有加密应用配置的集成功能，而且提供一个开放的API从而任何一个Java Cryptography Extension都可以使用Jasypt。

       Jasypt还符合RSA标准的基于密码的加密，并提供了无配置加密工具以及新的、高可配置标准的加密工具。
