Hello Claus,
I want to contribute a new crypto component which supports encryption/decryption, signing/verifying according to the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). See the CMS specification given in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5652. This component will use the Bouncy Castle CMS library (bcpkix) which also needs the Bouncy Castel JCEE provider library (bcprov). We have already the camel crypto component which has dependencies to the Bouncy Castle libraries bcprov and bcpg because it contains the PGP encryption and decryption: <dependency> <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId> <artifactId>bcpg-jdk15on</artifactId> <version>${bouncycastle-version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId> <artifactId>bcprov-jdk15on</artifactId> <version>${bouncycastle-version}</version> </dependency> I could put the CMS endpoints also into the crypto maven project. However, in my opinion it makes sense to create a new own component for CMS in a new own maven project because - then we have a clear separation between PGP and CMS - users which only want to use PGP will then not need the bcpkix library and users which only want to use CMS will not need the bcpg library My idea is to provide the following endpoints: camel-cms:sign://<name>?[options] camel-cms:verify://<name>?[options] camel-cms:encrypt://<name>?[options] camel-cms:decrypt://<name>?[options] So I propose the component name camel-cms . We could use as package name org.apache.camel.component.cms. Do you agree that I create a new maven project for the camel-cms component or should I put the component into camel-crypto maven project? I plan the contribution for the 2.20 release. Best Regards Franz
