Install the JCE Jurisdiction Policy Files
The JCE requires that Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files are downloaded
and installed in order to use some algorithms and key strengths using the JCE API.
The following algorithms require these policy files:
• AES, RC2, RC4, RC5 with key sizes greater than 128 bits
• RSA Encryption.
These algorithms are used by:
• Some PKCS #12 KeyStore files
• The
_AES_256_, TLS_RSA_ , SSL_R SA_ TLS cipher suites.
For the latest jurisdiction policy file guidelines, see the
install_jre/lib/security/java.security file.
The latest JDK updates use the unlimited policy files by default. To check that the
installed JDK does this, look for the
install_jre/lib/security/policy
directory. If this directory is not present, complete the following instructions to
manually download and install the unlimited policy files.
The JDK version installed determines the jurisdiction policy file to download.
For Oracle JDK 9, follow the instructions in the README.txt located in the
install_jdk9
/conf/security/policy directory of the JDK download.
For all other JDK versions, obtain the applicable jurisdiction policy file from the
following download locations:
• JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7 for:
– Oracle JDK 7.0
– HP JDK 7.0.
• JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 8 for:
– Oracle JDK 8.0
– HP JDK 8.0.
• IBM Unrestricted JCE Policy Files for IBM
®
JDK 7.x and 8.0.
To install the Unlimited Jurisdiction Policy Files:
1. Extract the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files from the
downloaded zip file.
2. Copy
local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar to the
install_jre/lib/security directory, overwriting the existing policy files.
