JDK-8237219 - Disable native SunEC implementation by default
Description
After libsunec is removed, the EC-related cipher suites should be excluded from the supported cipher suite list, and the ECDSA schemes should be excluded from extensions signature_algorithms and signature_algorithms_cert.
Comments
After the push of JDK-8237219, the native SunEC implementation has been disabled by default. Even if libsunec is removed, the EC-related cipher suites and ECDSA schemes are still there. When libsunec is removed someday, we could just check if the existing JSSE tests, which contain a lot of EC-related tests, pass. So, it may be unnecessary to develop a separated test for this point.
