[Cryptography] Password and Other Encryption

[Paul F Fraser]

Hi,

I am considering using Encryptor4j https://github.com/martinwithaar/Encryptor4j for general 
encryption purposes in my project.

It has this class

    public class AESEncryptorFactory implements EncryptorFactory {

         @Override
         public final Encryptor messageEncryptor(Key key) {
             return new Encryptor(key, "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding", 16);
         }

         @Override
         public final Encryptor streamEncryptor(Key key) {
             return new Encryptor(key, "AES/CTR/NoPadding", 16);
         }
    }

where the 16 is the ivLength.

Is the algorithm shown in messageEncryptor suitable for password encryption?

Is the algorithm shown in streamEncryptor suitable?

Is anyone familiar with Encryptor4j and have any comments?

Researching this subject reveals an enormous range of opinion and it seems to change every day.

So, as it is always recommended to rely on the experts, here I am at your mercy.
