Asymmetric Cryptography in Java

April 8th, 2010 No comments

Security plays a significant role in our day to day life. So far software applications are concerned, security of data is required for authentication and for several validations. Normally while developing the applications, we use the concept of cryptography for password encryption and decryption. Some applications require more security, so they go for high end security system like trusted security certificates. The security mainly focuses on the integrity of the data at the several ends.

Technicalities For data security Java Cryptography provides a suitable framework to implement several kinds of cryptography. However there are basically two types of cryptography. Once is Symmetric Cryptography and Asymmetric Cryptography. When both the ends communicate the secured data with a common key for encryption and decryption, it is called the Symmetric Cryptography. In this case a shared key is used by both the parties to encrypt and decrypt the data. However there is a problem relating to exchange of key for symmetric cryptography. To overcome this problem java provides another approach for the cryptography called Asymmetric Cryptography. In case of Asymmetric cryptography, there will be two keys unlike one key in case of symmetric cryptography. One key is called Private key and other is called Public key. These two keys are generated together and can be used for encryption and decryption. In this case the Public key is used by anyone who wishes to communicate securely with the owner of the Private key. The Private key is used by the main owner and the owner gives the Public key so that they can decrypt the data. In this article I will give you the example on Asymmetric cryptography. You can find more tutorials and concept on Sun’s JCE(Java Cryptography Extension). In my next article, I will provide you the example on Symmetric cryptography.

Complete Example

This example is only meant for learning and not for any specific use. You can take the piece of code to test in your system to learn the above concept.

The following class is used to create the Public key and Private key. This class contains generic methods to generate the Public and Private key. If you run the testharness class, you will find the two files called “Public.key” and “Private.key”. Please go through the java docs mentioned in the methods.

Installing Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and Changing the Default HTTP Port

February 21st, 2011 No comments

Oracle logoIn this article I will write about installing the Oracle Database 10g XE on Windows and changing the default port number for HTTP and optionally for FTP. The installer does not provide any customization option and you end up with the DB server instantly up and running reserving the port 1521 (a default for Oracle database servers), including an embedded HTTP listener set to a default port of 8080 which might conflict with some existing Java application servers or servlet containers such as Tomcat, JBoss Application Server and Glassfish which use the same port by default. Although it’s easy to start and stop the Oracle database with the shortcuts pre-installed in the Start menu, its http listener remains “on” at all times with no shortcut to be turned on and off easily.

In my case I already have Tomcat and Glassfish which are set to use the 8080 port as well, so I will show you how to modify the port number of Oracle 10g XE as I go along.

About APEX or what I would normally call Oracle 10g XE

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE also goes by an abbreviated code name APEX) is an entry-level, small-footprint database based on the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 code base that’s free to develop, deploy, and distribute; fast to download; and simple to administer. Oracle Database XE is a great starter database for:

  • Developers working on PHP, Java, .NET, XML, and Open Source applications
  • DBAs who need a free, starter database for training and deployment
  • Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and hardware vendors who want a starter database to distribute free of charge
  • Educational institutions and students who need a free database for their curriculum.

With Oracle Database XE, you can now develop and deploy applications with a powerful, proven, industry-leading infrastructure, and then upgrade when necessary without costly and complex migrations.

How to Create a Java EE 6 Application with JSF 2, EJB 3.1, JPA, and NetBeans IDE 6.8

December 17th, 2010 No comments

There are many articles and tutorials out there that discuss how to use the individual technologies in Java EE 6, e.g., JSF 2, EJB 3.1, JPA, etc, to develop an application, but I haven’t seen one that puts together the said technologies and showcases them in one tutorial with an end-to-end demonstration. As such, I thought I would create one here for the benefit of those who are new to JEE6 and NetBeans IDE 6.8 and those who are seriously looking at NetBeans IDE 6.8 as a tool for developing their enterprise applications.

This article published on Netbeans Zone aims to provide detailed steps to develop a web-based application based on technologies in the JEE6 specs, i.e., JavaServer Faces 2.0 (JSF), Enterprise Java Beans 3.1 (Session Bean and Message-Driven Bean) and Java Persistence API (JPA) with the help of NetBeans IDE 6.8 as the development & deployment tool. The example in this tutorial creates a web application called “CustomerApp” that performs only the Retrieve and Update functions of CRUD on the customer records provided by the NetBeans Sample database served by the Glassfish built-in database server, JavaDB (Derby). In addition to the above-mentioned technologies from JEE6, PrimeFaces for JSF2 will also be used as the Ajax-based Framework for the Web UI portion which is lacking in the stack. So, this tutorial also discusses how PrimeFaces can be integrated into NetBeans IDE and to enable Ajax capabilities for Web projects.

The objective of the tutorial is to demonstrate the ease of using the various JEE6 technologies and putting them together to create an enterprise-ready web-based application. Although the application is developed for demo purposes, its architecture represents the best practices in developing an enterprise application, whereby modularity, scalability, and reusability are taken into consideration.
