Provider Class
- Abstract class (Extend from properties class)
- Properties class (Extend from HashMap class)

Engine Class
An engine class provides the interface to a specific type of cryptographic service.
  • cryptographic operations (encryption, etc.)
  • generators or converters of cryptographic material (keys and algorithm parameters), or 
  • objects (keystores or certificates) that encapsulate the cryptographic data and can be used at higher layers of abstraction.
The following engine classes are available:
  • SecureRandom: used to generate random or pseudo-random numbers.
  • MessageDigest: used to calculate the message digest (hash) of specified data.
  • Signature: initialized with keys, these are used to sign data and verify digital signatures.
  • Cipher: initialized with keys, these are used for encrypting/decrypting data. There are various types of algorithms: symmetric bulk encryption (e.g. AES), asymmetric encryption (e.g. RSA), and password-based encryption (e.g. PBE).
  • Message Authentication Codes (MAC): like MessageDigests, these also generate hash values, but are first initialized with keys to protect the integrity of messages.
  • KeyFactory: used to convert existing opaque cryptographic keys of type Key into key specifications (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa.
  • SecretKeyFactory: used to convert existing opaque cryptographic keys of type SecretKey into key specifications (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa. SecretKeyFactorys are specialized KeyFactorys that create secret (symmetric) keys only.
  • KeyPairGenerator: used to generate a new pair of public and private keys suitable for use with a specified algorithm.
  • KeyGenerator: used to generate new secret keys for use with a specified algorithm.
  • KeyAgreement: used by two or more parties to agree upon and establish a specific key to use for a particular cryptographic operation.
  • AlgorithmParameters: used to store the parameters for a particular algorithm, including parameter encoding and decoding.
  • AlgorithmParameterGenerator : used to generate a set of AlgorithmParameters suitable for a specified algorithm.
  • KeyStore: used to create and manage a keystore. A keystore is a database of keys. Private keys in a keystore have a certificate chain associated with them, which authenticates the corresponding public key. A keystore also contains certificates from trusted entities.
  • CertificateFactory: used to create public key certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).
  • CertPathBuilder: used to build certificate chains (also known as certification paths)
  • CertPathValidator: used to validate certificate chains.
  • CertStore: used to retrieve Certificates and CRLs from a repository.

Install Virtual Environment

VIRTUAL ENV Virtualenv is a tool to create an isolated Python environment. In this post, we will learn how to setup virtualenv on ubuntu. Prerequisite pip Install Virtualenv If you have pip3  sudo pip3 install virtualenv if you have pip sudo pip install virtualenv Create a Virtualenv virtualenv venv venv is a directory in which virtual environment will be created. Working with Virtualenv source venv/bin/activate Please write comments if you find anything incorrect, or you want to share more information about the topic discussed above.

Equations

In general we frame real life problems into some mathematical formula called equations in which we use constant and some variables(unknown) Example: Ram is 12 years old.Ram 's age is 3/5 of Shyam's age what is Shyam's age. Let Shyam's age is x then 3/5 of sham's age is 3*x/5 x*3/5=12 x=60/3=20 so Shyam's age is 20. Linear equations When there is a linear combination of unknown variables is there then eqn is linear Example: 3x+ 2y+ 4z=9 Non Linear Equations: Equations in which non linear combination of the variable is there then eqn is non linear. When any 2 unknown variable multiplication present in the equation then it is the nonlinear equation. Example: 2x+5yz=98 is a nonlinear equation because yz multiplication is there: Quadratic equation in one variable: x^2 + 4*x + 2=0 is non linear because unknown variable x is being multiplied in term x^2 Quadratic equation in many variable: x^2 + y^2 +z^2 + w=0 cubic equati...

How Machine Learning (ML) Work

How Machine Learning (ML) Work In this post, We will learn how machine learning work. What is machine learning (ML) ? Machine learning is a study of model that compute use to progressively improve their performance on a specific task. What is Machine learning models ? Machine learning model contains a set of instruction or mathematical formula or in simple word it contain a piece of code in which we provide some data as input and model return some output. We learn more about model and how use a machine leaning model latter. How Machine Learning (ML) Work  ? This part we will understand with an example. Suppose want to have a simple application which will take a picture and banana or apple and application will tell us either it is banana or apple or picture is neither banana nor apple. To solve this problem first we provide a set of banana picture to our model and we will tell our model that this is a banana picture similarly we will provide a set of apple...

How to install certificates for command line

Install Certificates In this post, We will learn how to install the certificate on Ubuntu with the command line. Open your terminal and execute the following sequence of command. Here mycert.cer is the certificate that you want to install. $ sudo cp mycert.cer /usr/share/ca-certificates/mycert.pem $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates $ sudo update-ca-certificates $ git config --global http.sslCAInfo /usr/share/ca-certificates/mycert.pem Please write comments if you find anything incorrect, or you want to share more information about the topic discussed above.
