Description
The core problem is from the static registration of the BouncyCastle Security Provider in Java's Security API. When multiple BouncyCastle library versions are on the classpath, each trying to register its "BC" provider, conflicts occur. This can arise from different versions being introduced by drivers, the application, or its dependencies. The first registered provider wins, leading to unpredictable behavior if an older or incompatible version is registered before the expected one. This causes difficult-to-diagnose runtime problems for customers, highlighting the need to isolate or control BouncyCastle registration.
Solution: We will no longer globally register BouncyCastleProvider in Java's security API. Instead, our driver will create a dedicated local BouncyCastleProvider instance for it usage.
