Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files Download

The Java Cryptography Extension enables applications to use stronger versions of standard algorithms .

Current versions of the JDK do not require these policy files. They are provided here for use with older version of the JDK.

JDK 9 and later offer the stronger cryptographic algorithms by default.

The unlimited policy files are required only for JDK 8, 7, and 6 updates earlier than 8u161, 7u171, and 6u181. On those versions and later, the stronger cryptographic algorithms are available by default.

See JDK-8170157 for details.
