BouncyCastle on Android

Question

I am using PBEWITHSHA256AND256BITAES-CBC-BC to encrypt binary data which contains sensitive user data

I just want to confirm if BouncyCastle is part of every Android SDK after (2.1) as I read a on a few sites that BouncyCastle is not part of every Android SDK.

Would like a definitive answer

You can also try the SpongyCastle library which is a precompiled build of BouncyCastle but tested with Android.

If you're interested in SpongyCastle, it hasn't been updated since v1.58 whereas BouncyCastle is currently on v1.62. You can build your own SC/BC jar for Android from BC sources using "mybc". Link to my GitHub repo: https://github.com/jbuhacoff/nodejs-mybc-util – jbuhacoff Jul 14 '19 at 05:29
