About the Author
David Hook
David Hook has been writing software in a variety
of domains and languages for the last 20 years. He has worked with Java
since 1995, originally doing medical imaging before moving into
cryptography and security a year or so later. In April 2000, he
co-founded the open source Bouncy Castle cryptography project and has
played an active role in it ever since. He currently works as a
freelance consultant, mainly in Java, doing the odd bit of lecturing
and writing on the side. When he is not using his spare time to work on
Bouncy Castle, he spends it pursuing his other interest in computer
graphics. He lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his most patient wife
Janine and a cat named Hamlet, who really seems to think he's a little
cryptographer in a fur coat. David can be reached at dgh@bund.com.au.

Acknowledgments
First of all, I'd like to thank Peter Grant for
reviewing the chapters and exercises during the development of this
book, Jon Eaves who also provided additional feedback, and Bernard
Leach, who, with Peter and Jon, helped bring the Bouncy Castle project
to life.
I would also like to thank Simon McMahon for
additional feedback and comments, Jan Leuhe and Sharon Liu for
answering my questions on early JCE history for this book, not to
mention many of the other questions I've had over the years. Thanks
must also go to all the people making up the Bouncy Castle user
community—where the project has been successful; it is as much due to
your feedback, comments, contributions, and patience, as to any other
efforts.
To the Wrox crew, especially Carol Long and Carol
Griffith for helping me get started and keeping me on track, and to my
development editor Kezia Endsley, who never commented on the fact, that
as a first time author, I clearly had no idea what I was doing. If this
book provides you with all you expected, it is as much due to Kezia's
patient editing and direction as it is with any knowledge I have of the
subject.
Finally, I would like to thank the members of my
family. To my parents, Geoff and Pauline, brothers, Brendan, Martin,
and Warwick, and my sister, Sarah, you have all been a constant source
of inspiration and support. To my parents-in-law, Ron and Maureen, who
quietly went about helping my wife Janine repaint our house while I was
hiding in the office typing furiously, and to my wife Janine who found
time to support me through the book as well, what can I possibly say?
Thank you.
