TheIn [[computing]], the '''Java Cryptography Architecture''' ('''JCA)''') is a [[Software framework|framework]] for working with [[cryptography]] using the [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]]. It forms part of the Java [[Computer security|security]] [[Application programming interface | API]], and was first introduced in [[JDK]] 1.1 in the {{Javadoc:SE|package=java.security|java/security}} package.

The JCA uses a [[Provider model|"provider"-based architecture]] and contains a set of APIs for various purposes, such as [[encryption]], [[Key management|key generation and management]], [[Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator|secure random-number generation]], [[Public key certificate|certificate validation]], etc. These APIs provide an easy way for [[software developer | developer]]s to integrate security into application code.{{cn|date=April 2017}}
