Description
Currently, an application/applet cannot add a security provider without appropriate permissions even if that provider will only be used by that
application/applet. This is too restrictive.  JSSE TrustManagerFactory
already has a getInstance() method which takes a Provider object. We
should consider adding such a method for all JCA classes.
