If that weren't the case, I'd disagree with your point. So, maybe, we could have a 2nd net property with the default disabled algorithms and in net.properties we identify MD5 only for now. Users could add to that list if they want or even specify it on the command line. I think it's potentially confusing, but maybe there is a case for adding to the disabled list. I need to think about a way to do this without subvertng the point about making the user explicitly opt in. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7688
