Bug Description

Binary package hint: sun-java6-jre

Can you use the "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6" listed on http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp instead of the default policy files?
This is needed in order to use newer crypto stuff, like 128-bit Rijandael.

Please note that those Policy files are for USA users only. Due to export restrictions, Sun cannot permit their use outside of the USA.

I would appreciate the option of automating this however. Replacing the files by hand (and watching for further JDE updates that would overwrite them) is annoying.

According to the README they are cleared for expor4t from the US.
The problem is import restrictions in some countries.
