OpenSSL compatible API for Scala?

Question

Hello,

I'm working on a project with a friend. He's implementing his software in Ruby and I'm doing my stuff in Scala (with Lift). We're using some asynchronous encryption and he is using the ruby OpenSSL bindings for that:

 key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.generate(4096)
 self.public_key = key.public_key
 self.private_key = key

What I'm looking for is a simple API which is compatible to OpenSSL and runs on the JVM. I need it to create key-pairs and to encrypt and sign our payload. Do you have any suggestions?

How about using the API available in the JDK? javax.crypto.*

A college has been using it for SSL related stuff (using a cert and RSA keys).

Have a look at the Java API docs.
