Hi,
Please review this small update.
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~xuelei/8028518/webrev.00/
In TLS protocols, cipher suite specifies the crypto algorithms used in
TLS connections. The priorities of cipher suites define the preference
order that a cipher suite may be used in a TLS connection.
When introducing the AEAD/GCM cipher suites in SunJSSE provider (JEP
115)[1], for better compatibility and interoperability, we decided to
decrease the priority of cipher suites in GCM mode for a while before
GCM technologies mature in the industry.
It's time to consider to increase the priorities of GCM mode cipher
suite in early stage of JDK 9.
Thanks,
Xuelei
