This release expands the library’s standards coverage while helping organizations prepare for the next generation of cryptographic security and represents a significant hardening of the APIs as a result of the help the team has received from people using advanced AI-based coding analysis tools. Key Updates Expanded Post-Quantum Cryptography Support Version 1.85 significantly expands Bouncy Castle’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) portfolio by introducing a wide range of additional signature algorithms from the latest NIST and Korean standardisation efforts, alongside new ISO/IEC key encapsulation mechanisms. This comprehensive algorithm coverage enables developers to evaluate, test, and deploy quantum-resistant cryptography using a single, trusted cryptographic provider while preparing for future standards and regulatory requirements. Practical Post-Quantum Migration for PKI Moving to post-quantum cryptography is a gradual process, and Bouncy Castle 1.85 introduces the infrastructure needed to support that journey. New capabilities for hybrid certificates, post-quantum keys and signatures in X.509, and standards-based migration mechanisms allow organisations to begin deploying quantum-safe PKI today while maintaining compatibility with existing classical systems. High-Level CAdES API for Advanced Electronic Signatures Bouncy Castle 1.85 introduces a new high-level CAdES API supporting all four ETSI EN 319 122 baseline profiles (B-B, B-T, B-LT, and B-LTA). Developers can now build standards-compliant advanced electronic signatures more easily, reducing implementation complexity for document-signing, long-term archival, and eIDAS-compliant applications across regulated industries. Modernised CMS and Secure Messaging This release updates Bouncy Castle’s CMS implementation with support for the latest IETF standards, including KEM-based key management, modern key agreement mechanisms, authenticated encryption improvements, and SHAKE support. In addition, built-in downgrade protection helps defend against weaker encryption choices, giving developers stronger security by default while preparing secure messaging applications for the post-quantum era. Enhanced Blockchain and Digital Asset Support Bouncy Castle 1.85 adds support for BLS12-381 signatures and Bitcoin Taproot (BIP-340) Schnorr signatures, extending the library’s capabilities for blockchain, digital assets, and threshold signature applications. By bringing these widely adopted algorithms into the same audited cryptographic toolkit used for enterprise PKI and TLS, organisations can simplify their cryptographic stack while reducing supply chain complexity.
