Description
In JDK-8040059, the default java.policy was changed to grant no permissions to standard extensions by default, and existing jar files in the standard ext directory were individually granted AllPermission initially. This task will reduce the permissions for the JCE providers in the standard extensions directory so that they can better adhere to the principle of least privilege.
