Spongycastle

I love geek humor.  When researching encryption technologies for Android, I cam across an interesting project.  There are similar projects out there, but this one takes top prize, purely due to its name: SpongyCastle.  For those of you who don't get the joke, BouncyCastle is a famous cryptography library for Java and .NET.  Android comes with a stripped version of BouncyCastle, but many Android developers prefer to use an updated version.  Bundling BouncyCastle with your Android app can be problematic.  Enter SpongyCastle.  SpongyCastle is a namespace-translated jar of BounceCastle.  This allows for easy inclusion in your Android app.
