The various crypto tests that were previously ignored have been re-enabled. The abandoned i2p EdDSA library has been replaced with native support that was added in Java 15. Java 17 (via the `SunEC` provider) does not support the secp256k1 curve (one of the two ECDSA curves supported in Corda). This would not normally have been an issue as secp256k1 is already taken care of by Bouncy Castle. However, this only works if the `Crypto` API is used or if `”BC”` is explicitly specified as the provider (e.g. `Signature.getInstance(“SHA256withECDSA”, “BC”)`). If no provider is specified, which is what is more common, and actually what the Java docs recommend, then this doesn’t work as the `SunEC` provider is selected. To resolve this, a custom provider was created, installed just in front of `SunEC`, which “augments” `SunEC` by delegating to Bouncy Castle if keys or parameters for secp256k1 are encountered. `X509Utilities.createCertificate` now calls `X509Certificate.verify()` to verify the created certificate, rather than using the Bouncy Castle API. This is more representative of how certificates will be verified (e.g. during SSL handshake) and weeds out other issues (such as unsupported curve error for secp256k1). `BCCryptoService` has been renamed to `DefaultCryptoService` as it no longer explicitly uses Bouncy Castle but rather uses the installed security providers. This was done to fix a failing test. Further, `BCCryptoService` was already relying on the installed providers in some places. The hack to get Corda `SecureRandom` working was also resolved. Also, as an added bonus, tests which ignored `SPHINCS256_SHA256` have been reinstated. Note, there is a slightly inconsistency between how EdDSA and ECDSA keys are handled (and also RSA). For the later, Bouncy Castle is preferred, and methods such as `toSupportedKey*` will convert any JDK class to Bouncy Castle. For EdDSA the preference is the JDK (`SunEC`). However, this is simply a continuation of the previous preference of the i2p library over Bouncy Castle. |

Corda
Corda is an open source blockchain project, designed for business from the start. Only Corda allows you to build interoperable blockchain networks that transact in strict privacy. Corda's smart contract technology allows businesses to transact directly, with value.
Architecture Evolution
The code present in this repository reflects the first version of the implementation of the Corda model for DLT technology. This first architecture version covers Corda versions 1 through 4 and continues to deliver on the promise of DLT for both the open source community and industry as a whole.
However, like all things, Corda must evolve to serve the more stringent needs of today. This is why the second (and current) version of the Corda Architecture can be found here and will form the basis of the Corda 5 release.
Features
- Smart contracts that can be written in Java and other JVM languages
- Flow framework to manage communication and negotiation between participants
- Peer-to-peer network of nodes
- "Notary" infrastructure to validate uniqueness and sequencing of transactions without global broadcast
- Enables the development and deployment of distributed apps called CorDapps
- Written in Kotlin, targeting the JVM
