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.

There is a newer version: 1.58.0.0
