Description

Several tests and server components include Security.addProvider() statements that register the BouncyCastleProvider in static initialization methods. This change applies to the entire Java Virtual Machine.

Most cryptographic operations support passing a Provider as an argument, and this approach should be used when the Bouncy Castle Provider is required for certain algorithms not included in the standard JDK, such as the Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store BCFKS.
