- Other features
-
- IBMZSecurity security provider added to default provider list
- The IBMZSecurity provider is now added to the default security provider list, which means that it is enabled by default. For more information, see Security guide.
- IBMJCECCA RSA cipher support for OAEP padding
- The IBMJCECCA security provider now supports Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP padding) for RSA encryption and decryption that uses keys from a PKA data set (PKDS) that you manage with ICSF. You can now specify OAEP algorithms in the OAEPParameters class. For more information, see OAEPParameters class documentation.
