I don't see any ECC algorithms. These are in wide use today to say the least. And will be so even more tomorrow (i.e. when Java SE 7 is out you can not live without it).

Hello, Currently, the Java security APIs do not specify algorithm requirements for implementations of Java SE. This makes it difficult to develop conformance tests. Additionally, there is no guarantee that Java applications using these algorithms can inter-operate. See bug 5001004 for more information: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5001004 We will be addressing this issue in Java SE 7 by defining a list of required algorithms that all implementations must support. This is the criteria we used to decide if an algorithm should be required: a) the algorithm is required by the JRE itself (ex: when validating signed jars) b) the algorithm is required by a higher level Java SE API such as JSSE/TLS or XML Signature c) the algorithm is in wide use Please review the following list: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mullan/5001004/review.00/StandardNames.html#impl For each required algorithm, a corresponding section will be added to the API class summary of the applicable engine class. For example, for java.security.cert.CertificateFactory, the following paragraph will be added: Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard CertificateFactory type: * X.509 This type is described in the CertificateFactory section of the Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Names Document. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other types are supported. We are requesting feedback or any questions by December 22. Thanks, Sean
