      The constant-time ECC implementation in Java was introduced under JDK-8208698, first in JDK 12 and later in JDK 15.

      Currently, there are no known intrinsics implemented for these curves, with the exception of:

      PR #18583 – Intel x64

      PR #23719 – Intel AVX2

      Action:
      Benchmark the NIST Suite B curves (P-256, P-384, P-521) using:

      NSS native implementation

      Java constant-time implementation

      The goal is to identify performance gaps and determine where additional intrinsics may be beneficial.
