The JDK includes a list of required security algorithms that all
implementations must support:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#impl
This list is reviewed before each major release to check if new
algorithms should be added (or existing algorithms removed).
For JDK 9, we are proposing to add several new algorithms and keysizes
that are recommended by standards bodies for cryptographic operations
and security protocols. Adding these as requirements ensures that Java
applications can depend on them to be available on all Java 9
implementations. The new requirements are:
1. Signature: SHA256withDSA
2. KeyPairGenerator: DSA (2048), DiffieHellman (2048, 4096), RSA (4096)
3. AlgorithmParameterGenerator: DSA (2048), DiffieHellman (2048, 4096)
4. Cipher: AES/GCM/NoPadding (128), AES/GCM/PKCS5Padding (128)
5. SSLContext: TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2
