Spongy Castle is a package-rename (org.bouncycastle.* to org.spongycastle.*) of Bouncy Castle
intended for the Android platform. Android unfortunately ships with a stripped-down version of
Bouncy Castle, which prevents easy upgrades - Spongy Castle overcomes this and provides a full,
up-to-date version of the Bouncy Castle cryptographic libs.
The newest version!
