The Bouncy Castle Crypto package is a Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms. This jar contains JCE provider and lightweight API for the Bouncy Castle Cryptography APIs for JDK 1.5 to JDK 1.8. Note: this package includes the NTRU encryption algorithms.

The newest version!

/**
 * It turns out that the number of standard ways the fields in a DN should be 
 * encoded into their ASN.1 counterparts is rapidly approaching the
 * number of machines on the internet. By default the X509Name class 
 * will produce UTF8Strings in line with the current recommendations (RFC 3280).
 * 
 * An example of an encoder look like below:
 * 
 * public class X509DirEntryConverter
 *     extends X509NameEntryConverter
 * {
 *     public ASN1Primitive getConvertedValue(
 *         ASN1ObjectIdentifier  oid,
 *         String               value)
 *     {
 *         if (str.length() != 0 && str.charAt(0) == '#')
 *         {
 *             return convertHexEncoded(str, 1);
 *         }
 *         if (oid.equals(EmailAddress))
 *         {
 *             return new DERIA5String(str);
 *         }
 *         else if (canBePrintable(str))
 *         {
 *             return new DERPrintableString(str);
 *         }
 *         else if (canBeUTF8(str))
 *         {
 *             return new DERUTF8String(str);
 *         }
 *         else
 *         {
 *             return new DERBMPString(str);
 *         }
