What are the benefits of using fips for JCE?

I used the FIPS provider in JCE, but couldn't see any difference - I specifically looked for maximum key sizes but didn't find any difference there.

What are the benefits of FIPS?

It simply means that JCE is FIPS compliant. The main difference is that some of the less secure ciphers are removed (eg DES). Since most strong ciphers are already FIPS compliant, you won't be able to see the difference by checking the maximum key sizes.



It is also a market term used by IBM, which refers to all versions of its JCE as FIPS JCE.
