- # This is the "master security properties file".
- #
- # In this file, various security properties are set for use by
- # java.security classes. This is where users can statically register
- # Cryptography Package Providers ("providers" for short). The term
- # "provider" refers to a package or set of packages that supply a
- # concrete implementation of a subset of the cryptography aspects of
- # the Java Security API. A provider may, for example, implement one or
- # more digital signature algorithms or message digest algorithms.
- #
- # Each provider must implement a subclass of the Provider class.
- # To register a provider in this master security properties file,
- # specify the Provider subclass name and priority in the format
- #
- # security.provider.<n>=<className>
- #
- # This declares a provider, and specifies its preference
- # order n. The preference order is the order in which providers are
- # searched for requested algorithms (when no specific provider is
- # requested). The order is 1-based; 1 is the most preferred, followed
- # by 2, and so on.
- #
- # <className> must specify the subclass of the Provider class whose
- # constructor sets the values of various properties that are required
- # for the Java Security API to look up the algorithms or other
- # facilities implemented by the provider.
- #
- # There must be at least one provider specification in java.security.
- # There is a default provider that comes standard with the JDK. It
- # is called the "SUN" provider, and its Provider subclass
- # named Sun appears in the sun.security.provider package. Thus, the
- # "SUN" provider is registered via the following:
- #
- # security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
- #
- # (The number 1 is used for the default provider.)
- #
- # Note: Statically registered Provider subclasses are instantiated
- # when the system is initialized. Providers can be dynamically
- # registered instead by calls to either the addProvider or
- # insertProviderAt method in the Security class.
-
- #
- # List of providers and their preference orders (see above):
- #
- security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
-
- #
- # Class to instantiate as the system scope:
- #
- system.scope=sun.security.provider.IdentityDatabase
