JXTA JSE currently uses only a very small subset of Bouncy Castle which
does not include the IDEA cipher algorithm. We are currently using
- PKCS#1 Certificate generation.
- PKCS#10 Certificate Signing Request generation. (optional)
Note that in order to use these functions it is necessary for us to
install the bouncy castle JCE provider which means that applications
could access the patented functions. If you know of appropriately
licensed alternative code which is limited to only these functions we
would be happy to convert as doing so would free us from export control
review entirely.

Hi,
Apparently bouncycastle uses a patented algorithm in their distribution.
Could someone from the dev team kindly let me know whether the RI uses
any of the patented code?
Thanks

Regarding Bouncy Castle, IIRC they used to include the IDEA algorithm

bypass the patent issue. Not sure if that is an issue or not for
Tuscany but just a heads up.
Thanks for the heads up. We'll check with the jxta folks and see if they
use/expose the patented code.
We should move this discussion to tuscany-dev and report back to the
IPMC when its resolved.
