Standard Names

The JDK Security API requires and uses a set of standard names for algorithms, certificate and keystore types. This specification establishes the following names as standard names.

In some cases naming conventions are given for forming names that are not explicitly listed, to facilitate name consistency across provider implementations. Items in angle brackets (such as <digest> and <encryption>) are placeholders to be replaced by a specific message digest, encryption algorithm, or other name.

Note: Standard names are not case-sensitive.

This document includes corresponding lists of standard names relevant to the following security subareas:

The following encodings may be passed to the getEncoded method of CertPath or the generateCertPath(InputStream inStream, String encoding) method of CertificateFactory.

Encoding Description

PKCS7 A PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only significant field being certificates. In particular, the signature and the contents are ignored. If no certificates are present, a zero-length CertPath is assumed. Warning: PKCS#7 does not maintain the order of certificates in a certification path. This means that if a CertPath is converted to PKCS#7 encoded bytes and then converted back, the order of the certificates may change, potentially rendering the CertPath invalid. Users should be aware of this behavior. See RSA Security for details on PKCS7.

PkiPath

Encoding	Description
PKCS7	A PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only significant field being certificates. In particular, the signature and the contents are ignored. If no certificates are present, a zero-length `CertPath` is assumed. Warning: PKCS#7 does not maintain the order of certificates in a certification path. This means that if a `CertPath` is converted to PKCS#7 encoded bytes and then converted back, the order of the certificates may change, potentially rendering the `CertPath` invalid. Users should be aware of this behavior. See RSA Security for details on PKCS7.
PkiPath	an ASN.1 DER encoded sequence of certificates, defined as follows: PkiPath ::= SEQUENCE OF Certificate Within the sequence, the order of certificates is such that the subject of the first certificate is the issuer of the second certificate, etc. Each certificate in `PkiPath` shall be unique. No certificate may appear more than once in a value of `Certificate` in `PkiPath`. The `PkiPath` format is defined in defect report 279 against X.509 (2000) and is incorporated into Technical Corrigendum 1 (DTC 2) for the ITU-T Recommendation X.509 (2000). See the ITU website for details.

Cipher Algorithm Modes

The following names can be specified as the mode component in a transformation when requesting an instance of Cipher.

Alg. Name	Description
NONE	No mode.
CBC	Cipher Block Chaining Mode, as defined in FIPS PUB 81.
CFB, CFBx	Cipher Feedback Mode, as defined in FIPS PUB 81. Using modes such as CFB and OFB, block ciphers can encrypt data in units smaller than the cipher's actual block size. When requesting such a mode, you may optionally specify the number of bits to be processed at a time by appending this number to the mode name as shown in the "DES/CFB8/NoPadding" and "DES/OFB32/PKCS5Padding" transformations. If no such number is specified, a provider-specific default is used. (For example, the SunJCE provider uses a default of 64 bits for DES.) Thus, block ciphers can be turned into byte-oriented stream ciphers by using an 8 bit mode such as CFB8 or OFB8.
CTR	A simplification of OFB, Counter mode updates the input block as a counter.
CTS	Cipher Text Stealing, as described in Bruce Schneier's book Applied Cryptography-Second Edition, John Wiley and Sons, 1996.
ECB	Electronic Codebook Mode, as defined in FIPS PUB 81.
OFB, OFBx	Output Feedback Mode, as defined in FIPS PUB 81. Using modes such as CFB and OFB, block ciphers can encrypt data in units smaller than the cipher's actual block size. When requesting such a mode, you may optionally specify the number of bits to be processed at a time by appending this number to the mode name as shown in the "DES/CFB8/NoPadding" and "DES/OFB32/PKCS5Padding" transformations. If no such number is specified, a provider-specific default is used. (For example, the SunJCE provider uses a default of 64 bits for DES.) Thus, block ciphers can be turned into byte-oriented stream ciphers by using an 8 bit mode such as CFB8 or OFB8.
PCBC	Propagating Cipher Block Chaining, as defined by Kerberos V4.

Cipher Algorithm Padding

The following names can be specified as the padding component in a transformation when requesting an instance of Cipher.

Alg. Name	Description
NoPadding	No padding.
ISO10126Padding	This padding for block ciphers is described in 5.2 Block Encryption Algorithms in the W3C's "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing" document.
OAEPPadding, OAEPWith<digest>And<mgf>Padding	Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding scheme defined in PKCS1, where <digest> should be replaced by the message digest and <mgf> by the mask generation function. Examples: OAEPWithMD5AndMGF1Padding and OAEPWithSHA-512AndMGF1Padding. If `OAEPPadding` is used, `Cipher` objects are initialized with a `javax.crypto.spec.OAEPParameterSpec` object to suppply values needed for OAEPPadding.
PKCS1Padding	The padding scheme described in PKCS1, used with the RSA algorithm.
PKCS5Padding	The padding scheme described in RSA Laboratories, "PKCS5: Password-Based Encryption Standard," version 1.5, November 1993.
SSL3Padding	The padding scheme defined in the SSL Protocol Version 3.0, November 18, 1996, section 5.2.3.2 (CBC block cipher): block-ciphered struct { opaque content[SSLCompressed.length]; opaque MAC[CipherSpec.hash_size]; uint8 padding[ GenericBlockCipher.padding_length]; uint8 padding_length; } GenericBlockCipher; The size of an instance of a GenericBlockCipher must be a multiple of the block cipher's block length. The padding length, which is always present, contributes to the padding, which implies that if: sizeof(content) + sizeof(MAC) % block_length = 0, padding has to be (block_length - 1) bytes long, because of the existence of `padding_length`. This make the padding scheme similar (but not quite) to PKCS5Padding, where the padding length is encoded in the padding (and ranges from 1 to block_length). With the SSL scheme, the sizeof(padding) is encoded in the always present `padding_length` and therefore ranges from 0 to block_length-1.

Service Attributes

A cryptographic service is always associated with a particular algorithm or type. For example, a digital signature service is always associated with a particular algorithm (e.g., DSA), and a CertificateFactory service is always associated with a particular certificate type (e.g., X.509).

The attributes in this section are for cryptographic services. The service attributes can be used as filters for selecting providers.

Both the attribute name and value are case insensitive.

Attribute	Description
KeySize	The maximum key size that the provider supports for the cryptographic service.
ImplementedIn	Whether the implementation for the cryptographic service is done by software or hardware. The value of this attribute is "software" or "hardware".
ValidationAlgorithm	The name of the specification that defines the certification path validation algorithm that an implementation of `CertPathBuilder` or `CertPathValidator` supports. RFCs should be specified as "RFC#" (ex: "RFC3280") and Internet Drafts as the name of the draft (ex: "draft-ietf-pkix-rfc2560bis-01.txt"). Values for this attribute that are specified as selection criteria to the `Security.getProviders` method will be compared using the `String.equalsIgnoreCase` method. All PKIX implementations of `CertPathBuilder` and `CertPathValidator` should provide a value for this attribute.
LDAPSchema	The name of the specification that defines the LDAP schema that an implementation of an LDAP `CertStore` uses to retrieve certificates and CRLs. The format and semantics of this attribute is the same as described for the ValidationAlgorithm attribute. All LDAP implementations of `CertStore` should provide a value for this attribute.

For example:

	map.put("KeyPairGenerator.DSA",
	    "sun.security.provider.DSAKeyPairGenerator");
	map.put("KeyPairGenerator.DSA KeySize", "1024");
	map.put("KeyPairGenerator.DSA ImplementedIn", "Software");

<digest>with<encryption>	Use this to form a name for a signature algorithm with a particular message digest (such as MD2 or MD5) and algorithm (such as RSA or DSA), just as was done for the explicitly-defined standard names in this section (MD2withRSA, etc.). For the new signature schemes defined in PKCS1 v 2.0, for which the <digest>with<encryption> form is insufficient, <digest>with<encryption>and<mgf> can be used to form a name. Here, <mgf> should be replaced by a mask generation function such as MGF1. Example: MD5withRSAandMGF1.

send SSLv3, TLSv1, and
TLSv1.1 hellos encapsulated in an SSLv2 format hello. For more details on
the reasons for allowing this compatibility in these protocols, see
Appendix E in the appropriate RFCs (above).



	  Note that some SSL/TLS servers do not support the v2 hello
format
and require that client hellos conform to the SSLv3 or TLSv1 client
hello
formats.



	  The SSLv2Hello option controls the SSLv2 encapsulation.
If SSLv2Hello is disabled on the client, then all outgoing messages
will conform to the SSLv3/TLSv1 client hello format. If SSLv2Hello
is disabled on the server, then all incoming messages must conform
to the SSLv3/TLSv1 client hello format.
	  
	
      
    
  
The authType parameter passed to the
checkClientTrusted and checkServerTrusted
methods of X509TrustManager indicates the authentication
type. The table below specifies what standard names should be used for
the client or server certificate chains. 
  
    
      
	
	  Client or Server Certificate Chain
	  Authentication Type Standard Name
	
	
	  Client
	  Determined by the actual certificate used. For instance,
if RSAPublicKey is used, the authType should be "RSA".
	
	
	  Server
	  The key exchange algorithm portion of the cipher suites
represented as a String, such as "RSA" or "DHE_DSS". Note: For some
exportable cipher suites, the key exchange algorithm is determined at
run time during the handshake. For instance, for
TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, the authType should be
"RSA_EXPORT" when an ephemeral RSA key is used for the key exchange,
and "RSA" when the key from the server certificate is used. Or it can
take the value "UNKNOWN".
	
      
    





Over time, various groups have added new ciphersuites definitions to
the SSL/TLS namespace.  Some ciphersuite names were defined before
TLSv1.0 was finalized, and were therefore given the SSL_*
prefix.  The names mentioned in the TLS RFC prefixed with
TLS_* are functionally equivalent to the JSSE ciphersuites
prefixed with SSL_*.

Algorithms



This Section specifies details concerning some of the algorithms
defined in this document. Any provider supplying an implementation of
the listed algorithms must comply with the specifications in this
appendix.



To add a new algorithm not specified here, you should first
survey other people or companies supplying provider
packages to see if they
have already added that algorithm, and, if so, use
the definitions they published, if available. Otherwise, you
should create and make available a
template, similar to those found in this Section,
with the specifications for the algorithm you
provide.

Implementation Requirements


This section defines the security algorithm requirements for Java SE 6 
implementations. These requirements are intended to improve the 
interoperability of Java SE 6 implementations and applications that
use these algorithms.

The implementation requirements are one of two types:

 RECOMMENDED:
Each implementation of Java SE 6 should, by default (as installed), 
support the specified algorithm(s).
 REQUIRED:
Each implementation of Java SE 6 must, by default (as installed), 
support the specified algorithm(s). 


Note that the requirements in this section are not a measure of the 
strength or security of the algorithm. For example, recent advances in 
cryptanalysis have found weaknesses in the strength of the MD5 MessageDigest 
algorithm. It is your responsibility to determine whether the algorithm meets 
the security requirements of your application.
If an algorithm or engine is not listed, then it is not subject to the
specified requirement.



Java Cryptography and PKI Algorithms



Each implementation of Java SE 6 should, by default (as installed), 
support the specified algorithms (all RECOMMENDED) in the table below. 
For the next release of Java SE (7), the plan is that each algorithm 
in the table below will be changed to REQUIRED. These requirements do not 
apply to 3rd party providers.

Name	Protocol
SSLv2	SSL version 2 protocol
SSLv3	SSL version 3 protocol
TLSv1	TLS version 1.0 protocol (defined in RFC 2246)
TLSv1.1	TLS version 1.1 protocol (defined in RFC 4346)
SSLv2Hello	Currently, the SSLv3, TLSv1, and TLSv1.1 protocols allow you to send SSLv3, TLSv1, and TLSv1.1 hellos encapsulated in an SSLv2 format hello. For more details on the reasons for allowing this compatibility in these protocols, see Appendix E in the appropriate RFCs (above). Note that some SSL/TLS servers do not support the v2 hello format and require that client hellos conform to the SSLv3 or TLSv1 client hello formats. The SSLv2Hello option controls the SSLv2 encapsulation. If SSLv2Hello is disabled on the client, then all outgoing messages will conform to the SSLv3/TLSv1 client hello format. If SSLv2Hello is disabled on the server, then all incoming messages must conform to the SSLv3/TLSv1 client hello format.

Name	SHA-1
Type	`MessageDigest`
Description	The message digest algorithm as defined in NIST's FIPS 180-2. The output of this algorithm is a 160-bit digest.
