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.
I don't believe Ayaskant's query was specific to ECC. In any case, the
above answer isn't accurate. ECC support is available OOTB in JDK
6 for Solaris. It's provided via the SunPKCS11 provider. SunEC provider
was added in JDK 7:

Hi,
Can anyone please help me know about this - Does JSSE library
implement the Ciphers or Algorithms of a SSL protocol ? I see the
jsse.jar library shipped with the JDK. I read the the Oracle document
about JSSE -
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#Introduction
So my question is - does the JSSE implement the Ciphers or Algorithms
that are used for a successful SSL handshake , server authentication,
data integrity & data confidentiality (Application data encryption).
Example of cipher suites - *TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 or
**TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256*
*
*
So is the coding of the above ciphers have been done in the JSSE library?
Thanks
