Hi all, Not sure whether something on this subject has been raised before but I was unable to see anything in the mailing lists.
We have been looking at adding support to Java to use the OpenSSL libraries as a JCE security provider if available on the system that a Java application is being run on (or to build and bundle the OpenSSL libraries with the JDK). If not found then the security drops back to using the built in security that is part of the existing JDK. The use of the OpenSSL libraries can be disabled entirely or specific algorithms can be disabled by use of command line options, i.e. Djdk.nativeCrypto=true | false and -Djdk.nativeDigest=true | false Would this be something that might be useful to be contributed to OpenJDK.
