Is there a windows program that allows users to encrypt a file so that it can be accessed via a Java API programmatically (i.e. to decrypt it in memory)?
I hope this makes sense.
I guess the question is twofold
(1) Is there a free Java API to access/decrypt encrypted files?
(2) Is there a free program that allows you to encrypt files supported by the API?
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Christian
BouncyCastle is a good free library for cryptography in Java (and in C#). It’s actively maintained (unlike Cryptix since 2005 apparently). It has a package for OpenPGP support, with which you should be able to do what you want. In addition, it’s probably worth looking at its resources page, which lists a few tools that have been built on top of it (including related to OpenPGP).
