| <title>Apache Commons Crypto: Proposal</title> |
| </properties> |
| |
| <body> |
| |
| <section name="Proposal for Apache Commons Crypto Package"><br/> |
| <h4>March 24, 2016</h4> |
| |
| |
| |
| <subsection name="(0) Rationale"> |
| <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> |
| |
| </subsection> |
| <subsection name="(1) Scope of the Package"> |
| <p> |
| This proposal is to create a package of cryptographic IO classes with the integration |
| of OpenSSL library. |
| It focuses on AES-NI optimizations mainly, and it can be extended to other algorithms |
| based on demand from the users later. |
| </p> |
| |
| </subsection> |
| <subsection name="(1.5) Interaction With Other Packages"> |
| |
| <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> |
| |
| <p>No external configuration files are utilized.</p> |
| |
| </subsection> |
| <subsection name="(2) Initial Source of the Package"> |
| |
| <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> |
| |
| </subsection> |
| <subsection name="(3) Required Apache Commons Resources"> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Git Repository - New repository <code>commons-crypto</code> |
| </li> |
| <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> |
| |
| </subsection> |
