Open source solutions provide a unique opportunity to lower the total cost of ownership, and get the flexibility and responsiveness of standards based, community support software.

An essential element of successful deployments is professional support - particularly with business critical projects. Similarly, professional advice is important to ensure that the application of sophisticated security and cryptographic technologies achieves the project objectives and does not expose any inadvertent vulnerabilities.

Understanding these needs, Lock Box Labs provides Commercial Support, Consulting and Development services making it possible to use the well regarded open source APIs with the same level of certainty that is associated with regular commercial software commercial software.

We have years of experience designing, creating and supporting open source solutions for companies large and small, local and global, and for cryptographic functions we recommend the Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography API and the Bouncy Castle C# Cryptography API.

Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography API provides a lightweight cryptography API in Java, a provider for the JCE and JCA, a clean-room implementation of the JCE 1.2.1, generators for Version 1 and Version 3 X.509 certificates, generators for Version 2 X.509 attribute certificates, PKCS12 support, and APIs for dealing with S/MIME, CMS, OCSP, TSP, OpenPGP, and TLS, and many other country specific protocols. Versions are provided for the J2ME, and JDK 1.0-1.6.

Bouncy Castle C# Cryptography API provides a lightweight cryptography API in C# , generators for Version 1 and Version 3 X.509 certificates, generators for Version 2 X.509 attribute certificates, PKCS12 support, and APIs for dealing with S/MIME, CMS, OCSP, TSP, OpenPGP, and TLS, and many other country specific protocols.

Lock Box Labs provides extensive Bouncy Castle support services and specialised services for Bouncy Castle consulting and Bouncy Castle development and for Java Cryptography and C# cryptography in general. We have experience in user and developer support, migration, performance and application tuning, training, and (source level) customisation.

Since 2000, our key team members have been have been developing, supporting, deploying and advocating the use of the Bouncy Castle Java cryptography and C# cryptography APIs which is now in more that 10,000 sites around the world.
