The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is a set of packages that provides a framework and implementations for encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms. There is support for encryption which includes symmetric, asymmetric, block, and stream ciphers. The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) extends the JCA API for encryption, key exchange, and Message Authentication Codes (MCA).
The Java programmer performs at a higher level with the key objective of developing programs dealing mostly with the APIs, configuration options etc that give out the best possible performance, scalability and availability of the application without compromising the level of security. JCE defines the general architecture and specific services for cryptographic operations. JCE classes follow the same general structure as that of its predecessor JCA classes, and include classes for encryption and decryption, Message Authentication Code computation and a few others.
