Query - Does JSSE library implement the Ciphers or Algorithms of a SSL protocol ?

[Jim Manico]

I think this is the right answer.

From
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27323858/java-6-ecdhe-cipher-suite-support

The SSL/TLS implementation "JSSE" in Java 1.6 and later supports ECDHE
suites *IF there is an available (JCE) provider* for needed ECC
primitives. *Java 1.6 OOTB does NOT* include such an ECC provider, but
you can add one. *Java 7 and 8 do* include SunECC provider.
