Jackcess Encrypt

Jackcess Encrypt is an extension library for the Jackcess project which implements support for some forms of Microsoft Access and Microsoft Money encryption. Jackcess Encrypt is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

This project is separate from the main Jackcess project for two main reasons:

• The encryption support requires an additional library (Bouncy Castle). Making this support separate from the main Jackcess library allows users to avoid including unnecessary libraries.
• Sourceforge has restrictions on the distribution of software which use encryption. Keeping this support in a separate project allows the main Jackcess library to be distributed more freely.

Sample code

• Open a Database with normal Jet file encoding:

  Database db = Database.open(myDbFile, true, true, null, null, new CryptCodecProvider());

• Open a Database with an encoding which requires a password to decode:

  Database db = Database.open(myDbFile, true, true, null, null, new CryptCodecProvider("MyDbPassword"));
