RELEASE NOTES:

security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:

    JDK-8293345: Legacy Mechanism Check in SunPKCS11 Provider Is Enhanced with Service Type 

      Native PKCS11 mechanisms which support decryption but not encryption, or signature
      verification but not signing, are considered legacy and are disabled by default. The legacy
      mechanism check in SunPKCS11 provider is enhanced with the service type. For example, prior to
      this fix, a mechanism supporting encryption, decryption, and verification but not signing, is
      considered legacy and can't be used at all. After this fix, the corresponding Cipher service
      using this mechanism is available since both encryption and decryption are supported. However,
      the corresponding Signature service is not since only verification is supported. To bypass the
      legacy mechanism check, set the PKCS11 provider configuration attribute "allowLegacy" to true.
      The default value is false. Note that it is the caller's responsibility to make sure the
      legacy mechanism is not used for the unsupported functionality.
