             Summary: Remove Bouncy Castle Reference
                 Key: PDFBOX-2963
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2963
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PDModel
    Affects Versions: 1.8.10, 1.8.9, 2.0.0
            Reporter: Johnny Minty
            Priority: Minor


PDFBox Versions 1.8.X and 2.0.X add Bouncy Castle as a security provider explicitly (Hard coded)

Referencing bouncy castle explicitly ties PDF box to a specific provider implementation.

Instead of referencing BouncyCastleProvider explicitly provide an option to select another provider or alternatively allow a way to override the default. 

Version 1.8.X:
https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/1.8.10/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/encryption/SecurityHandlersManager.java

public static SecurityHandlersManager getInstance()
    {
        if(instance == null)
        {
            instance = new SecurityHandlersManager();
            Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
        }
        return instance;
    }

Version 2.0.0:

https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/encryption/SecurityHandlerFactory.java

   static
    {
        Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
    }
