Taking "especially" to mean you may be interested in others as well,
in the Java world it's impossible to go past the Legion of the Bouncy
Castle (www.bouncycastle.org).

Of course, unless you need to get at low-level stuff or do any other
non "consumer" crypto, in Java you generally use the abstract JCE and
JSSE api's and don't really care (in the programming sense) which
provider is plugged in underneath.

As well as the typical JCE stuff (ciphers and X.509), BC also includes
OpenPGP and S/MIME.
