Hello All,

Whats the functional difference between SAP Cryptographic Library and JAVA Cryptographic Library. How they differ in fuctionality and When do we use one over the other. Naming convention says both are different but I am not sure of the functional difference. Any help in making me understand this is appriciable.

Thanks in advance.

Farooq.

Well, it's pretty easy:

"SAP Cryptographic Library" (aka "SAPcryptolib") is a native library (DLL) - and therefore platform-specific. It's typically used with components such as WebAS ABAP, JCO, WebDispatcher, etc.

"Java Cryptographic Library" (aka "IAIK Toolkit") is implemented in Java. It's typically used for the WebAS Java.
