| The JCE architecture allows flexible cryptographic strength to be |
| configured via the jurisdiction policy files contained within these |
| directories. |
| |
| The default JCE policy files bundled in this Java Runtime Environment |
| allow for "unlimited" cryptographic strengths. For convenience, |
| this build also contains the historic "limited" strength policy files |
| which contain restrictions on cryptographic strengths, but they must be |
| specifically activated by updating the "crypto.policy" Security property |
| (e.g. <java-home>/conf/security/java.security) to point to the appropriate |
| directory. |
| |
| Each subdirectory contains a complete policy configuration, and additional |
| subdirectories can be added/removed to reflect local regulations. |
| |
| JCE for Java SE has been through the U.S. export review process. The JCE |
| framework, along with the various JCE providers that come standard with it |
| (SunJCE, SunEC, SunPKCS11, SunMSCAPI, etc), is exportable from the |
| United States. |
| |
| You are advised to consult your export/import control counsel or attorney |
| to determine the exact requirements of your location, and what policy |
| settings should be used. |
| |
| Please see The Java(TM) Cryptography Architecture (JCA) Reference |
| Guide and the java.security file for more information. |
