Hi,
I was interested in using your iTextSharp library and ran into problems. I
already use Bouncy Castle and when I add a reference to iTextSharp it gives
me errors telling me the Bouncy Castle methods already exist. Is there
anything I can do to avoid these namespace errors?
Thanks,
Nikolai
Sorry for the delay, been out of commission...
I completely understand the desire to not have to maintain fragile/
buggy code related to encryption, but why not use an interfaced based
solution so that those that want to create a smaller distribution can?
Again, I am willing to do that work,
I can't make any promises but you are free to present your code.
Paulo

paul,
I think you misunderstand the JCE system or what I am stating -
although I did not use the term provider correctly in the strictest
sense.
The SUN provider in 1.5 includes significantly more cryptography
algorithms than the 1.4

Because we are planning to use more BC functionality in the future.
Can't iText use the standard Java encryption packages (which will
locate the needed provider)?
I believe you implicitly gave the
My point was, if you use the standard Java interfaces, a user that is
running Java 1.3 or 1.4 can install the bouncy castle provider jars
and it will work.
A user that is running 1.5 does not need the bouncy castle jars since
the provider is already there.
With the current code, all users

Sounds interesting.
Paulo has the final word on everything that concerns signatures.
Let's hear what he thinks about it.

Maybe there is a better way.
I have 2 motivating factors:
1. Limit the deployment size. The bouncy castle jars are as large as
the iText jar. Maybe a 'thin BC can be distributed with iText that
only contains the ASN functions? Or just implement the ASN1 functions
in iText?
2.
I'll get back to you later on this.

As a follow-up, the bouncy castle jars are very large 1.2 mb, yet
seem to only be needed if doing public key encryption, and should not
be required for basic old style pdf encryption, yet they are required
in order to create ANY encrypted pdf.
If the Java encryption services were used, at
