Having recently had to do some progamming related to encryption, I’ve been doing a lot of reading, taking notes and thinking about encryption in general, and Java implementations in particular. The results are written up here:

• Symmetric Encryption Foundations - general principles of symmetric encryption
• Symmetric Encryption in Java - JDK APIs and BouncyCastle APIs

And related topic:

• The Java SecureRandom class
