> For the PKIX KeyManager and PKCS12 Keystore, when the TLS server sends the ServerHello message and ultimately calls the X509KeyManagerImpl.chooseEngineServerAlias() method, it retrieves the private key from the keystore, decrypts it, and caches both the key and its certificate. This caching currently occurs only during a single handshake. Since decryption can be time-consuming, a modification has been implemented to cache the keystore entries at initialization time. This way, it won't be necessary to retrieve and decrypt the keys for multiple handshakes, which could lead to performance drawbacks.

While attempting to handle when to refresh a cached entry to accommodate keystore changes, we would like to know if you agree that this improvement is worth the risk. We would also like to know if you have a preference for other options:
