Currently Being Moderated  Since you are now reading this blog
post, I bet you are a security guru who knows that IAIK is the
primary cryptographic provider used in SAP NetWeaver Java. But,
is it possible to use a 3rd-party crypto provider to carry out
the cryptographic tasks that are usually performed by IAIK? The
answer is: it depends, but in many typical scenarios, yes.
Before we dive into all the security concepts and jargons, let's
first step back and take a look at why you would need a 3rd-
party crypto provider. Here are some of the reasons:  - Legal
reasons (e.g., export AND import restrictions)  -
Government/Corporate regulations  - Special crypto
algorithms/key length required that are not provided by IAIK
*IMPORTANT NOTE: the following steps to plug in 3rd-party
cryptographic providers into NetWeaver J2EE engine may result in
breaks or malfunction in standard software functionalities, due
to the fact that each cryptographic provider may behave
differently even though they may all comply with the
