Answer 1

Try SpongyCastle its a repackaged BouncyCastle that wont conflict with the one released with Android. The one on Android systems is old (if you even have a release of Android that includes it).

This should be all you need.

Answer 2

I'm facing the same issue as Naveen.

I do have some doubts regarding spongy castle. Correct me if i'm wrong. This post i've found: http://www.coderanch.com/t/134504/Security/Bouncy-Castle-vs-Sun-JCE Seems like performance might be negligible. Though it did not specifically mentioned about spongycastle.bouncycastle but i'm assuming it is, as sun jce's crypto library uses a stripped down version of bouncy castle.
