Re-enabling PKCS11 HMAC mechanisms in Solaris

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The following mechanisms are disabled in the sunpkcs11-solaris.cfg file:

      # the following mechanisms are disabled due to performance issues
      # (Solaris bug 6337157)
        CKM_DSA_SHA1
        CKM_MD5_RSA_PKCS
        CKM_SHA1_RSA_PKCS
        CKM_SHA256_RSA_PKCS
        CKM_SHA384_RSA_PKCS
        CKM_SHA512_RSA_PKCS

      We should investigate whether these performance issues are still a concern, and consider re-enabling these for JDK 9.
