Cryptography Module provides cryptography capabilities to a Mule application. Its main features
include:

- Symmetric encryption and decryption of messages.

- Asymmetric encryption and decryption of messages.

- Message signing and signature validation of signed messages.

The module supports these strategies to encrypt and sign your messages:

- [JCE](https://docs.mulesoft.com/cryptography-module/2.1/cryptography-module-jce)  
  Provides cryptography capabilities of Java Cryptography Extension.

- [PGP](https://docs.mulesoft.com/cryptography-module/2.1/cryptography-module-pgp)  
  Provides signing and encryption using Pretty Good Privacy.

- [XML](https://docs.mulesoft.com/cryptography-module/2.1/cryptography-module-xml)  
  Provides signing and encryption of XML documents or elements.

Additionally, the module offers two general operations to calculate and validate stream checksums.
