This is a feature request for Android-included Bouncy Castle compatibility. The goal of this feature is for the jSCEP client to work on an Android device/emulator without having to include a separate bundled version of BC. The compiled BC 1.45 source is > 2MB and therefore bloats the size of any Android APK that uses jSCEP. Additionally, conflicting package names requires that jSCEP source is modified to achieve this, which is not desirable.

Android 1.6-2.2 includes a modified BC version 1.34. Android 2.3+ includes (a presumably modified) BC version 1.45. It might make sense to target Android 2.3+ only, since jSCEP 1.1.4 depends on BC version 1.45 already. If dependency on some BC source is still required, a jar with only the complimentary classes would be nice to have.

The Android BC source is available here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/bouncycastle.git

I also believe it makes sense to target Android 2.3 only.

Folks, Any one has tries jscep 1.2 on Android 2.3.3?

I am trying jscep on android, getting the following error:

DES key too long - should be 8 bytes at org.jscep.message.PkcsPkiEnvelopeDecoder.decode(PkcsPkiEnvelopeDecoder.java:94) at org.jscep.message.PkiMessageDecoder.decode(PkiMessageDecoder.java:105) at org.jscep.transaction.EnrolmentTransaction.send(EnrolmentTransaction.java:85)

Any suggestions?

Re comment 9, can you open a new issue please?

The Android-supplied version of BC is missing quite a lot of the files we need. Have you looked at http://rtyley.github.com/spongycastle/?
