Question: Are bouncycastle versions backward compatible?

Open adnsimona opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Our project uses multiple bouncycastle versions got from different libraries transitively. Is it possible to replace jdk15on:1.62, jdk15on:1.67, jdk15on:1.70 and jdk15to18:1.75 with jdk18on:1.77 for a Java 17 Spring Boot application without issue?

I don't mean it backward compatible, like with JDK, but in business logic. (It would run on JDK 17, so I guess all of them are running on it)

It depends a lot on how they are being used as to whether you'd have issues. I would certainly not recommend using multiple versions like this, if only because it will become quite difficult to deal with any vulnerability reports.

Appears dead.
