Open-source Java encryption tool jasypt 1.4 released

The jasypt development team has released the Java encryption tool jasypt 1.4, which can be integrated with Spring framework, hibernate, and acegi security. A project-related developer said that jasypt is a Java library that allows developers to add basic encryption functions to Java projects without having to know the encryption principles.

Jasypt, that is, Java simplified encryption, is an open-source project on sourceforge.net. New Features of jasypt 1.4 include: encryptable properties files), Spring framework integration, encrypted hibernate data source configuration, new command line tools, URL-encrypted Apache wicket integration, and upgrade documents.

According to the jasypt documentation, this technology can be used to encrypt tasks and applications, such as encryption passwords, sensitive information and data communication, and create sums for complete check data.

Other features include high security, standard-based encryption technology, one-way and two-way encryption of encryption passwords, text, numbers, and binary files. Jasypt can also be integrated with acegi security, that is, spring security. Jasypt also has the integrated function of encrypting application configurations, and provides an open API so that any Java Cryptography Extension can use jasypt.

Jasypt also complies with RSA-standard password-based encryption and provides unconfigured encryption tools and new, highly configurable standard encryption tools.
