hi,
i have jdk1.6.0_27 on windows 7 system. In order to install BC i have placed jar file bcprov-jdk16-146.jar in c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\lib\ext and also in c:\program files\java\jre6\lib\ext folder. Further, i have added the provider in java.security file of both jdk1.6.0_27 and jre6 by adding the following line after all the other providers mentioned in file.

security.provider.9=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider. BouncyCastleProvider

i have also replaced my policy files with the unrestricted one which is recognized by my system when run program SimplePolicyTest.java from the book but when i execute SimpleProviderTest.java from book, it gives the output

BC provider not installed.


I am not able to figure out where m i doing wrong. please help me

It's probably not something you are doing wrong so much, as it's more likely that the version of Java you're running is not the one you've updated. It certainly sounds like you have done everything correctly, I'd check it with java -version before going further though.

HI,
Please tell which jdk version is suitable for BC .I have tried the same process with jdk 7 also and have the same problem as in jdk1.6.0_27.

There are versions of BC for every version of Java from 1.1. The 1.6 release will work with JDK 1.7.

As I said before it sounds like you've followed the process, but you need to check the JVM you're running is the one the provider is installed in. Likewise you need to make sure the jar file is properly installed in the ext area. Multiple jars with the same packages can sometimes cause this to happen as well.
