Oracle releases FIPS-validated crypto module for Java
Briefly

Oracle has launched Oracle Jipher, a new cryptographic service designed for Java developers leveraging the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) framework. Announced on April 29, Jipher delivers a FIPS 140-2 validated OpenSSL cryptographic module in a downloadable JAR format, accessible through Java Tools and Resources. While existing Java Development Kit (JDK) providers offer algorithm implementation, they lack FIPS-140 validation. Jipher's addition promises enhanced security compliance, particularly essential for applications in government and regulated industries, addressing the increasing need for robust cryptographic services in Java applications.
Oracle's Jipher introduces a FIPS-140 validated OpenSSL module for Java developers, enhancing security within the standard Java Cryptography Architecture framework.
The inclusion of Jipher guarantees that Java applications can access high-level cryptographic services while ensuring compliance with FIPS-140 standards, crucial for government and regulated industries.
