Hello all,
Please approve the following fix for 7u40:
Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7165807 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vinnie/7165807/webrev.01/ Code review: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2013-June/007786.html JDK 8 changeset: [under construction]
This fix modifies the SunPKCS11 JCE provider to initialize the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) crypto library to favour performance over memory footprint, by default. A new SunPKCS11 configuration flag 'nssOptimizeSpace' has been introduced to enable Java applications to revert to the old behaviour.
Note that this change affects only the NSS-specific mode of the SunPKCS11 provider. It makes it consistent with the provider's regular behaviour which already initializes NSS to favour performance over memory footprint.
Thanks.
