com.nimbusds.jose.crypto.bc.BouncyCastleProviderSingleton

public final class BouncyCastleProviderSingleton
extends Object

BouncyCastle JCA provider singleton, intended to prevent memory leaks by ensuring a single instance is loaded at all times. Application code that needs a BouncyCastle JCA provider should use the getInstance() method to obtain an instance.

Requires the following optional dependency:

 <dependency>
     <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
     <artifactId>bcprov-jdk15on</artifactId>
     <version>[1.68,2.0.0)</version>
     <optional>true</optional>
 </dependency>
 

Important: The BouncyCastle FIPS JCA provider dependency must not be present to prevent class conflicts!
