Is Java Cryptography standard libraries in Android run as native code

问题

I am integrating standard java cryptography classes in my Android application, but I noticed that the AES algorithm is not that fast, it cannot encrypt more than about 5 Kb per second, so do someone know if I can get more performance if I implement my own cryptography methods using NDK? or it is just being done already in the standard library? any suggestions is appreciated

On older devices, javax.crypto is implemented in Java code. Starting in Android 4.3 or 4.4, Android uses an OpenSSL-based javax.crypto provider, so most of the code will be native.

so do someone know if I can get more performance if I implement my own cryptography methods using NDK?

If by "implement my own cryptography methods", you mean "link to and use libcrypto", that may be faster on older devices, but I would not expect much difference on newer devices.
