Conscrypt - A Java Security Provider
Conscrypt is a Java Security Provider (JSP) that implements parts of the
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) and Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE).
It uses BoringSSL to provide cryptograhpic primitives and Transport Layer
Security (TLS) for Java applications on Android and OpenJDK.
The core SSL engine has borrowed liberally from the Netty project and their
work on netty-tcnative, giving Conscrypt
similar performance.
Download
NOTE: This section is under construction! Artifacts have
not yet been published to the public Maven repositories.
Download JARs
You can download
the JARs
directly from the Maven repositories.
OpenJDK (i.e. non-Android)
Native Classifiers
The OpenJDK artifacts are platform-dependent, since each embeds a native library for a particular
platform. We publish artifacts to Maven Central for the following platforms:
Classifier | Description |
---|
windows-x86_64 | Windows distribution |
osx-x86_64 | Mac distribution |
linux-x86_64 | Used for Linux |
Maven
Use the os-maven-plugin to add the dependency:
<build>
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>kr.motd.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>os-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.1.Final</version>
</extension>
</extensions>
</build>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.conscrypt</groupId>
<artifactId>conscrypt-openjdk</artifactId>
<<<<<<< HEAD
<version>1.0.1</version>
=======
<version>1.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
>>>>>>> 52c196b8e8cea5b850404bf5eac44c27ca858d2e
<classifier>${os.detected.classifier}</classifier>
</dependency>
Gradle
Use the osdetector-gradle-plugin
(which is a wrapper around the os-maven-plugin) to add the dependency:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gradle:osdetector-gradle-plugin:1.4.0'
}
}
// Use the osdetector-gradle-plugin
apply plugin: "com.google.osdetector"
dependencies {
compile 'org.conscrypt:conscrypt-jdk:1.0.1:' + osdetector.classifier
}
Uber JAR
For convenience, we also publish an Uber JAR to Maven Central that contains the shared
libraries for all of the published platforms. While the overall size of the JAR is
larger than depending on a platform-specific artifact, it greatly simplifies the task of
dependency management for most platforms.
To depend on the uber jar, simply use the conscrypt-openjdk-uber
artifacts.
Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>org.conscrypt</groupId>
<artifactId>conscrypt-openjdk-uber</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
Gradle
dependencies {
compile 'org.conscrypt:conscrypt-jdk-uber:1.0.1'
}
How to Build
If you are making changes to Conscrypt, see the building
instructions.
Source Overview
Here's a quick readers' guide to the code to help folks get started. The high-level modules are Common, Android,
OpenJDK, and Platform.
Common
This contains the bulk of the code for both Java and C. This isn't an actual module and builds no
artifacts. Rather, the other modules just point to this directory as source.
Android
This module provides the Platform
class for Android and also adds compatibility classes for
supporting various versions of Android. This generates an aar
library artifact.
OpenJDK
This modules provides the Platform
class for non-Android (OpenJDK-based) systems. It also provides
a native library loader supports bundling the shared library with the JAR.
Platform
This is not an actual module and is not part of the default build. This is used for building
Conscrypt as an embedded component of the Android platform.
