For what it's worth, I like commons-codec, which aligns with other
Apache Commons packages we're using. That said, I don't mind using
the BouncyCastle stuff if that's what everyone else wants to use.

I think everyone agrees we should avoid the Sun-specific classes but
we should also avoid multiple, overlapping third-party packages. I
introduced the commons-codec package when I donated the artifact API
to OpenSAML (avoiding the Sun base64 classes), but I'd be happy to
rework that using BouncyCastle if there's consensus in that direction.

Cheers,
Tom
