Local fix

Problem summary

  • 1. Update KDB format to support PBES2
    Add PBES2 (Password-Based Encryption Standard-2) encryption
    algorithm based on AES-256 and Hmac-SHA-384.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Set the PBES2 algorithm based on AES-256 and HMAC-SHA-384 as the
    default encryption algorithm.  Also, support the legacy
    PBES1-format Keystore.
    "com.ibm.security.cmskeystore.CMSLoadStoreParameterFactory.newCM
    SLoadParameter(File ksFile, ProtectionParameter protection,
    boolean pqc)" can create both PBES1 and PBES2 formatted Keystore
    via "pqc" boolean parameter.
