BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API)
Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. - FIPS 140 #4943
The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well.
