JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC

[romanstrobl]

The following error occurs on Java 17 when using the BC provider from fat jar:

JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC

java.security.NoSuchProviderException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC
	at java.base/javax.crypto.JceSecurity.getInstance(JceSecurity.java:131)
	at java.base/javax.crypto.KeyAgreement.getInstance(KeyAgreement.java:240)

The error seems to be caused by following issue in Spring Boot: spring-projects/spring-boot#28837

Hi, how do you plan to fix this bug?

[romanstrobl]

We plan to wait for Spring Boot project to fix the bug. The workaround is to use Java 15 or older.

[evgenyigumnov]

I have the same plan :) But this bug reproduced from 12 to 17 java. As result I have to use 11 java

The fixing effort moved to: spring-projects/spring-boot#32106

[romanstrobl]

The issue seems to be fixed after migrating to Spring Boot 3, we can close this issue.

[romanstrobl]

Reopening issue, it is still present with recent versions of Java 17 and Spring Boot 3.1.3.

It seems to me, that it is an issue only in Oracle Java. I was able to reproduce it using

java version "21" 2023-09-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 21+35-LTS-2513)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21+35-LTS-2513, mixed mode, sharing)

But not with

openjdk version "17.0.8.1" 2023-08-24
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 17.0.8.1+0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 17.0.8.1+0, mixed mode, sharing)

This is in accordance with Wilkinsona's statement spring-projects/spring-boot#28837 (comment)

Thank you, @SubhiSingh - we can retest and if everything is OK, close the issue.

We can close the issue, I was not able to reproduce it on Java 17.0.10.
