2 JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files
RSA BSAFE SSL-J 6.2.6 Troubleshooting Guide
JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files
The JCE framework requires that Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files are
downloaded and installed in order to use some algorithms and key strengths using the
JCE API.
The following algorithms require these policy files:
• AES with key sizes greater than 128 bits
• RC2 with key sizes greater than 128 bits
• RC4 with key sizes greater than 128 bits
• RC5 with key sizes greater than 128 bits
• RSA Encryption.
These algorithms are used by:
• Some PKCS #12 KeyStore files
• The following TLS cipher suites:
–
_AES_256_ cipher suites
–
TLS_RSA_ cipher suites
–
SSL_RSA_ cipher suites.
To successfully use the relevant algorithms and run all of the samples, the Unlimited
Jurisdiction Policy Files must be downloaded and installed. The JDK version installed
determines the Jurisdiction Policy File to download.
For details about the JDK versions, the corresponding locations and installation
instructions, see the RSA BSAFE SSL-J Installation Guide.
