JEP 166: Overhaul JKS-JCEKS-PKCS12 Keystores

[Vincent Ryan]

Hello Mike,

The new PBE algorithms in JEP-121, such as PBEWithHmacSHA256AndAES_128, could certainly be used
for PKCS12 keystores within Java environments - the problem is maintaining interoperability with existing
crypto toolkits and web browsers.

Is there any interest among those on this list in promoting wider support for these PBE algorithms?
 
Thanks.
