CreateLargeEncryptedMail

public class CreateLargeEncryptedMail extends Object
a simple example that creates a single encrypted mail message.

The key store can be created using the class in org.bouncycastle.jce.examples.PKCS12Example - the program expects only one key to be present in the key file.

Note: while this means that both the private key is available to the program, the private key is retrieved from the keystore only for the purposes of locating the corresponding public key, in normal circumstances you would only be doing this with a certificate available.
