Thank Benedikt for the minutes! And thank Xianda for the presentation. -----Original Message----- From: Benedikt Ritter [mailto:brit...@apache.org] Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2016 7:49 PM To: Commons Developers List <dev@commons.apache.org> Subject: [CRYPTO] Feedback from ApacheCON Europe
Hi, Xianda Ke held a nice presentation about Commons Crypto yesterday at ApacheCON Europe in Seville. Kudos to Xianda Ke and Dapeng Sun for preparing the presentation and making the long trip to Europe. Here are the comments we got from the audience: 1) Why does Commons Crypto implement it's own Crypto API instead of providing a JCE provider? If it is possible to write an adapter to JCE, I think this would be a good improvement for 1.1. If it is not possible for technical reasons, we should document it on the website. 2) Is it possible to stub in a custom secret generator? There where concerns in the audience with regards to the hardware secret generator build into the Intel chips, because it is not clear what is happening inside that chips. Can we extend the API in a why so that users can provide their own secret generator? Does this even make sense or will that degrade the performance of Crypto?
