On a related note: how prevalent is Java among the security folk?
Most of the crypto algorithms I've read are done in C. As a person that wants to try rolling my own crypto, I just don't see myself writing it in Java.
- r3bl 10y agoNot an expert, but I'm pretty sure that the first rule of crypto is that you should not roll your own, at least not in a place of any actual importance.
- frugalmail 10y agoToo bad there aren't good standards in C++ for security APIs and architectures unlike Java.
- dboreham 10y agoCrypto for Java programs tends to be written in Java. Not always: you see OpenSSL used underneath Tomcat via APR for example, but certainly very often the crypto is coded in Java.
- baby 10y agoUnfortunately a bunch of stuff uses java. Like Android.
