Unfortunately Bouncy Castle is needed on JRE, as Sun/Oracle is an american 
company with silly export limitations when it comes to strong crypto (funny 
enough, this is not needed on Android where you can readily get away with > 
AES-128). I am no security expert, but JCards seems to use Blowfish 
(typically considered an inferior algorithm to AES) with only 64bit block 
size and iteration count of only 16. It also doesn't look as if JCards 
seeds with new random data between successive encryptions.
