Is it possible to use sun.security.provider to perform a SHA3-256 hash? If so how?

Question

I'm writing a simple test program that will be run just once that needs to be able to output SHA3-256 hashes for different input strings. I know that you aren't supposed to use sun.security.* classes directly and I know that BouncyCastle can do SHA3, but I want to use sun.security classes anyways for this test program.

My question is in the title: Is it possible to use sun.security.provider to perform a SHA3-256 hash? And If so how? — jwils, Sep 06 '17 at 21:46

Yes and No. See this. The short answer is that there are "export restrictions" on strong encryption cyphers, so by default Java doesn't have full strength encryption.
