This change adds attributes in the RSA service registration in the OpenJCEPlusFIPS provider to only support OAEP paddings. It, also, update the engineSetPadding() method to only allow OAEP paddings to be set when the FIPS provider is used. Tests are updated accordingly to skip invalid padding tests when running with OpenJCEPlusFIPS. A temporary flag that allows the use of other paddings with OpenJCEPlusFIPS is introduced to facilitate migration of users utilizing the previous behaviour. The flag to be set to revert this behaviour is -Dcom.ibm.openjceplusfips.allowNonOAEP=true. Signed-off-by: Kostas Tsiounis <[email protected]>
