| <title>Proposal for Apache Commons Crypto Package</title> |

| <h1>Proposal for <em>Apache Commons Crypto</em> Package</h1> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h3>(0) Rationale</h3> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p>Providing Java based optimized and high performance cryptographic IO streams for |
| the applications that want to implement the data encryption. It also provides cipher |
| level API to use. It does provide the openssl API integration and provide the fallback |
| mechanism to use JCE when openssl library unavailable.</p> |
| |
| <p>(Note: Please note that Commons Crypto doesn’t |
| |
| implement the cryptographic algorithm such as AES directly. It wraps to OpenSSL or JCE |
| |
| which implement algorithms.)</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h3>(1) Scope of the Package</h3> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p>This proposal is to create a package of cryptographic IO classes with the integration |
| |
| of OpenSSL library. </p> |
| |
| <p>It focuses on AES-NI optimizations mainly, and it can be extended to other algorithms |
| |
| based on demand from the users later.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h3>(1.5) Interaction With Other Packages</h3> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p><em>IO</em> Commons Crypto relies on standard JDK 7 (or later) APIs for production |
| |
| deployment and on OpenSSL 1.0.1c devl libraries. It utilizes the JUnit unit testing |
| |
| framework, but this is of interest only to developers of the component. |
| |
| The functionality provided by Commons Crypto is currently in use by Apache Hadoop |
| |
| and Apache Spark, and both of those communities have expressed interest in changing |
| |
| their dependency to be on the central Commons Crypto package once it exists.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h3>(2) Initial Source of the Package</h3> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| <p>The initial classes came from the Apache Hadoop.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p>The proposed package name for the new component is <code>org.apache.commons.crypto</code>.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h3>(3) Required Apache Commons Resources</h3> |
| |
| |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Git Repository - New repository <code>commons-crypto</code> |
| |
| <li>Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general <em>dev@commons.apache.org</em> |
| |
| mailing list. |
| <br>To help list subscribers identify messages of interest, |
| |
| it is suggested that the message subject of messages about this component |
| |
| be prefixed with [Crypto]. </br></li> |
| |
| <li>JIRA - New component "Crypto" under the "Commons" project.</li> |
| |
| <li>Confluence FAQ - New category “commons-crypto" (when available).</li> |
| |
| |
| |
| </ul> |
