Hi Tony,

Thanks for the update. I see your new webrev. I guess my point is that 
if we're in verbose logging mode, then we should log the message from 
the exception(.getMessage()) rather than the more (vague) "uses a 
disabled algorithm" logged message.

I see the new code now iterating over the permittedAlgs Map - that will 
certainly benefit logging.

regards,
Sean.
