Bouncy Castle Support

Choose your support service

Find a support solution that best reflects the way your organization uses the Bouncy Castle APIs. Choose between three support solutions: Basic, Enterprise and Enterprise Combined.

Basic support is good for a single development team and limited to 2 named contacts in an organization and a single access point to the FIPS early access program. Enterprise support is designed to support multiple teams and developers across an organization and allows domain based contacts to enter support requests and their issues dealt with. Enterprise support also includes 10 access points to the FIPS early access program and a faster response time. The Enterprise Combined adds extra customer contact to the FIPS early access program. 

Bouncy Castle support is delivered to you by Crypto Workshop, that is a part of PrimeKey. Read more in A bit of history.

About the FIPS early access program

Scope of the program

Holders of Bouncy Castle support contracts also qualify for early access to the Bouncy Castle FIPS APIs. The program includes access to the pre-certified FIPS modules and the CAVP and operational test harnesses for certification. Enterprise Combined contract holders have early access to both the Java and the C# FIPS projects.

FIPS certification in your company name

Companies that need a FIPS certificate tailored to include the vendor name and product name can do a so called "Private Label Validation" and through our support program we make that easier for you. We help simplify the extensive FIPS validation process as we – in addition to the Bouncy Castle FIPS modules – give you access to the full test suite and some of the compliance documentation. Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc is also happy for people to attach to their certificate if it would help in this case as well. Read more about FIPS Private Label Validations in the Bouncy Castle documentation. 

Your application and the FIPS compliant API  

We would also like to highlight that provided that your application is using the FIPS API according to the security policy for the FIPS module, your application can be considered FIPS certified. We are happy to review your usage of the API to certify that this is the case.
