      1 bcprov.patch:
      2 
      3 patch against Bouncy Castle's bcprov:
      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 (not-upstreamable due to J2ME requirement upstream)
     19 - DERObjectIdentifier interns its internal String indentifer value
     20 - changed uses of 'new Integer' to 'Integers.valueOf'
     21 - X509CertificateObject.getEncoded caches its result
     22 - removed references to SecretKeyFactory.PBE/PKCS5 SecretKeyFactory.PBE/PKCS12
     23 - OpenSSLDigest uses NativeCrypto JNI API
     24 - JDKKeyStore made more tolerant of non-existant aliases
     25 - Make BouncyCastleProvider.PROVIDER_NAME final
     26 - Added wrapper for SecretKeyFactory.PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1
     27 
     28 Other security changes:
     29 - Blacklist fraudulent Comodo certificates in PKIXCertPathValidatorSpi
     30 - Blacklist compromised DigiNotar Root CA by public key to block cross-signed intermediates
     31 
     32 Other changes:
     33 - Log entry and exit to DHParametersHelper.generateSafePrimes which has long, unpredictable runtime
     34 
     35 
     36 bcpkix.patch:
     37 
     38 patch against Bouncy Castle's bcpkix:
     39 
     40 The main differences involve:
     41 - removing algorithms not in our bcprov (MD2, MD4, SHA224, RIPEMD, GOST)
     42 - using the singleton DERNull.INSTANCE
