Cryptography changes in Android 9 - JWT Encryption Issue

  • 1.  Cryptography changes in Android 9 - JWT Encryption Issue

    Posted Oct 03, 2019 09:11 AM
    Hi Guys,

    We had developed a mobile app for earlier versions of Android, which used BC provider to encrypt JWT, with our key,
    And we used to decrypt JWT in CA API Gateway.

    Now while upgrading the mobile code for Android 9, where BC provider does not work due to new cryptography changes in Android 9.
    JWT encryption is causing some algorithm error.

    Does this mean, we need to use a new algorithm or key in CA API Gateway as well to match with the new cryptography changes in Android 9 ?

    Being a gateway admin, I do not have much idea on cryptography issues in Android.

    Please help.
