OpenSSL with Java

Question

I have to use OpenSSL in a Java web project and I don\'t know anything about \'OpenSSL\'.

How can I integrate OpenSSL with my project? is there any good fundamental tuto

Answer 1

Best solution: Use Java's built-in security for simple tasks or use BouncyCastle for more advanced ones.

If you HAVE TO use OpenSSL from Java you have 2 choices:

1. Call openssl as a process from Java.
2. Make a JNI layer to OpenSSL, but that seems like a complete waste of time to me. None of those are really good ways of doing it.
