3 patch against Bouncy Castle:
4
5 The main differences involve removing algorithms not included in the
6 reference implementation (RI). The libcore
7 java.security.StandardNames test support class provides the most
8 up-do-date documentation of differences between the RI's list of
9 supported algorithms and Android's. Some notable omissions versus the
10 RI:
11 - LDAP
12 - MD2
13 - RC2
14
15 Other performance (both speed and memory) and correctness changes:
16 - singleton DERNull (BouncyCastle now does this but we make constructor private to be sure)
17 - similarly made DERBoolean constructor private and moved to DERBoolean.{getInstance,TRUE,FALSE}
18 - removed use of Boolean constructor
19 - DERPrintableString interns its internal String values
20 - DERObjectIdentifier interns its internal String indentifer value
21 - changed uses of 'new Integer' to 'Integer.valueOf'
22 - X509CertificateObject.getEncoded caches its result
23 - removed references to SecretKeyFactory.PBE/PKCS5 SecretKeyFactory.PBE/PKCS12
24 - OpenSSLDigest uses NativeCrypto JNI API
25 - KeyStoreSpis made more tolerant of non-existant and null aliases
26 - PKCS12 KeyStore.getCreationDate tries to mimic RI behavior on null and missing aliases
27 - Make PKCS12 KeyStore throw error when setting non-PrivateKey, instead of on get
28 - Make PKCS12 KeyStore tolerate setting with an empty certificate chain
29 - Fixed cut & paste instanceof error in EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo
30 - Make BouncyCastleProvider.PROVIDER_NAME final
31 - Added wrapper for SecretKeyFactory.PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1
32 - Added DSA support to JDKKeyManager.engineGetKeySpec
33
34 Other security changes:
35 - Blacklist fraudulent Comodo certificates in PKIXCertPathValidatorSpi
36 - Blacklist compromised DigiNotar Root CA by public key to block cross-signed intermediates
37
38 Other changes:
39 - Log entry and exit to DHParametersHelper.generateSafePrimes which has long, unpredictable runtime
