Hi Welcome to the community.
Mind that Apache Camel supports JDK6+ so we cannot have components currently that require JDK7+. In case that API you wanna use is only avail in JDK7 onwards. We have 2 crypto components http://camel.apache.org/crypto http://camel.apache.org/xmlsecurity-dataformat.html Isn't your component more alike the existing xmlsecurity component from Camel? Maybe that's the place where it fits the best?
