The Bouncy Castle Cryptography Library For .NET

NuGet NuGet

The Bouncy Castle Cryptography library is a .NET implementation of cryptographic algorithms and protocols. It was developed by the Legion of the Bouncy Castle, a registered Australian Charity, with a little help! The Legion, and the latest goings on with this package, can be found at https://www.bouncycastle.org.

In addition to providing basic cryptography algorithms, the package also provides support for CMS, OpenPGP, (D)TLS, TSP, X.509 certificate generation and more. The package also includes implementations of the following NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization algorithms: CRYSTALS-Dilithium, CRYSTALS-Kyber, Falcon, SPHINCS+, Classic McEliece, FrodoKEM, NTRU, NTRU Prime, Picnic, Saber, BIKE, and SIKE. These should all be considered EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change or removal. SIKE in particular is already slated for removal and should be used for research purposes only.

The Legion also gratefully acknowledges the contributions made to this package by others (see here for the current list). If you would like to contribute to our efforts please feel free to get in touch with us or visit our donations page, sponsor some specific work, or purchase a support contract.

Note: This source tree is not the FIPS version of the APIs - if you are interested in our FIPS version please visit us here or contact us directly at office@bouncycastle.org.

Installing BouncyCastle

You should install BouncyCastle with NuGet:

Install-Package BouncyCastle.Cryptography

Or via the .NET Core command line interface:

dotnet add package BouncyCastle.Cryptography

Either commands, from Package Manager Console or .NET Core CLI, will download and install BouncyCastle.Cryptography.

MimeKit

MimeKit is an Open Source library for creating and parsing MIME, S/MIME and PGP messages on desktop and mobile platforms. It also supports parsing of Unix mbox files. Unlike any other .NET MIME parser, MimeKit's parser does not need to parse string input nor does it use a TextReader. Instead, it parses raw byte streams, thus allowing it to better support undeclared 8bit text in headers as well as message bodies. It also means that MimeKit's parser is significantly faster than other .NET MIME parsers. MimeKit's parser also uses a real tokenizer when parsing the headers rather than regex or string.Split() like most other .NET MIME parsers. This means that MimeKit is much more RFC-compliant than any other .NET MIME parser out there, including the commercial implementations. In addition to having a far superior parser implementation, MimeKit's object tree is not a derivative of System.Net.Mail objects and thus does not suffer from System.Net.Mail's limitations. API documentation can be found on the web at http://www.mimekit.net/docs For those that need SMTP, POP3 or IMAP support, check out https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit

iTextSharp

PLEASE NOTE: iTextSharp is EOL, and has been replaced by iText. Only security fixes will be added We HIGHLY recommend customers use iText for new projects, and to consider moving existing projects from iTextSharp to iText to benefit from the many improvements such as: - HTML to PDF (PDF/A) conversion - PDF Redaction - SVG support - Better language support (Indic, Thai, Khmer, Arabic, Hebrew) - PDF Debugging for your IDE - Data Extraction - Better continued support and bugfixes - More modular, extensible handling of your document workflow - Extra practical add-ons - Encryption, hashing and digital signatures iText is a PDF library that allows you to CREATE, ADAPT, INSPECT and MAINTAIN documents in the Portable Document Format (PDF), allowing you to add PDF functionality to your software projects with ease. We even have documentation to help you get coding. iText is available under AGPL and Commercial license. iText Community: https://www.nuget.org/packages/itext/ iText is a complete re-write of iText 5, allowing you to choose your adventure with add-ons, all based on a simple, modular code structure that is easy to use and well documented. iText includes pdfDebug, the first debugging tool that gives you a clear overview of your content streams and document structure as well as pdfCalligraph, allowing you to leverage advanced typography. Several iText engineers are actively supporting the project on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/itext
Testcontainers

Testcontainers for .NET is a library to support tests with throwaway instances of Docker containers for all compatible .NET Standard versions.
