Hi all,
I've got a question regarding bc in android, would be glad if anyone
could help.
What I am trying to do is to generate KeyPair using KeyPairGenerator
(ECDSA) in android, like
....
KeyPairGenerator g = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDSA")
or using bouncy castle
KeyPairGenerator g = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDSA", "BC")
...
but apparently the bouncy castle included in android is "stripped", so
it has support for RSA , DH and others but not for ECDSA.
So I downloaded Bouncy Castle API and added as reference, in a hope I
could register this as my "BC" provider (first removing the already
registered "BC" provider).
But the problem is that the namespaces and classnames are the same in
android.jar and the jar I downloaded from the legion of bouncy castle
site, so when I add my "BC" provider it finds the one contained in
android.jar , thus leading to no result
//provider comes from the android.jar and not bceprovider.jar
//so no ECDSA support
Provider bcProv = new
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider();
Security.addProvider(bcProv);
Is there any way I could overcome this problem ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Ray
