Hi guyz,
I have a properly working minibanking application wherein my emulator communicates ok with a servlet and gets me the required data from the database.But theres no security.So i read up and found out that there was Satsa and BouncyCastle.Which should i use and which has great mailing lists like this one ? Also if i do use them , where should i put the .jar so as to avoid compile time errors.Is it in the /common/lib of my tomcat or my lib directory of my j2sdk.Do let me know?..thnx a lot

If your intention is to have some encryption/decryption stuff happening on the mobile device, you'll obviously need to compile the necessary security libraries into your .jar file as well. For the server-side application, I would strongly suggest packaging the security libraries into your WEB-INF/lib directory (inside the .war file) instead of trusting on the server having them in its classpath.

Oh, and I'd suggest using BouncyCastle. It's by far the most popular open source encryption library.
