I think this is the right answer. From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27323858/java-6-ecdhe-cipher-suite-support
The SSL/TLS implementation "JSSE" in Java 1.6 and later supports ECDHE suites *IF there is an available (JCE) provider* for needed ECC primitives. *Java 1.6 OOTB does NOT* include such an ECC provider, but you can add one. *Java 7 and 8 do* include SunECC provider. - Jim On 5/29/16 8:02 PM, Ayaskant Swain wrote: > Hi, > > Can anyone please help me know about this - Does JSSE library > implement the Ciphers or Algorithms of a SSL protocol ?
