Introduction
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Thank you for downloading the Unlimited Strength Java(TM) Cryptography
|
|
Extension (JCE) Policy Files for the Java(TM) Platform, Standard
|
|
Edition (Java SE) Runtime Environment 7.
|
|
|
|
Due to import control restrictions of some countries, the version of
|
|
the JCE policy files that are bundled in the Java Runtime Environment,
|
|
or JRE(TM), 7 environment allow "strong" but limited cryptography to be
|
|
used. This download bundle (the one including this README file)
|
|
provides "unlimited strength" policy files which contain no
|
|
restrictions on cryptographic strengths.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this download file does NOT contain any encryption
|
|
functionality as all such functionality is contained within Oracle's
|
|
JRE 7. This bundles assumes that the JRE 7 has already been installed.

License and Terms
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This download bundle is part of the Java SE Platform products and is
|
|
governed by same License and Terms notices. These notices can be found
|
|
on the Java SE download site:

Understanding The Export/Import Issues
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
JCE for Java SE 7 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.
|
|
|
|
The JCE architecture allows flexible cryptographic strength to be
|
|
configured via jurisdiction policy files. Due to the import
|
|
restrictions of some countries, the jurisdiction policy files
|
|
distributed with the Java SE 7 software have built-in restrictions on
|
|
available cryptographic strength. The jurisdiction policy files in this
|
|
download bundle (the bundle including this README file) contain no
|
|
restrictions on cryptographic strengths. This is appropriate for most
|
|
countries. Framework vendors can create download bundles that include
|
|
jurisdiction policy files that specify cryptographic restrictions
|
|
appropriate for countries whose governments mandate restrictions. Users
|
|
in those countries can download an appropriate bundle, and the JCE
|
|
framework will enforce the specified restrictions.
|
|
|
|
You are advised to consult your export/import control counsel or
|
|
attorney to determine the exact requirements.

Installation
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
o Unix (Solaris/Linux) and Windows use different pathname separators,
|
|
so please use the appropriate one ("\", "/") for your environment.
|
|
|
|
o <java-home> (below) refers to the directory where the JRE was
|
|
installed. It is determined based on whether you are running JCE
|
|
on a JRE or a JRE contained within the Java Development Kit, or
|
|
JDK(TM). The JDK contains the JRE, but at a different level in the
|
|
file hierarchy. For example, if the JDK is installed in
|
|
/home/user1/jdk1.7.0 on Unix or in C:\jdk1.7.0 on Windows, then
|
|
<java-home> is:
|
|
|
|
/home/user1/jdk1.7.0/jre [Unix]
|
|
C:\jdk1.7.0\jre [Windows]
|
|
|
|
If on the other hand the JRE is installed in /home/user1/jre1.7.0
|
|
on Unix or in C:\jre1.7.0 on Windows, and the JDK is not
|
|
installed, then <java-home> is:
|
|
|
|
/home/user1/jre1.7.0 [Unix]
|
|
C:\jre1.7.0 [Windows]
|
|
|
|
o On Windows, for each JDK installation, there may be additional
|
|
JREs installed under the "Program Files" directory. Please make
|
|
sure that you install the unlimited strength policy JAR files
|
|
for all JREs that you plan to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the installation instructions:
|
|
|
|
1) Download the unlimited strength JCE policy files.
|
|
|
|
2) Uncompress and extract the downloaded file.
|
|
|
|
This will create a subdirectory called jce.
|
|
This directory contains the following files:
|
|
|
|
README.txt This file
|
|
local_policy.jar Unlimited strength local policy file
|
|
US_export_policy.jar Unlimited strength US export policy file
|
|
|
|
3) Install the unlimited strength policy JAR files.
|
|
|
|
In case you later decide to revert to the original "strong" but
|
|
limited policy versions, first make a copy of the original JCE
|
|
policy files (US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar). Then
|
|
replace the strong policy files with the unlimited strength
|
|
versions extracted in the previous step.
|
|
|
|
The standard place for JCE jurisdiction policy JAR files is:
|
|
|
|
<java-home>/lib/security [Unix]
|
|
<java-home>\lib\security [Windows]
