- Method Detail
  - useCompliantAlgorithms
```
public static boolean useCompliantAlgorithms()
```
    Provide a hint that the system should strive to be compliant with FIPS-140-2. This can be used by code that needs to make choices at runtime whether to disable some optional behaviour that is not compliant with FIPS-140, or to switch to a compliant (yet less secure) alternative. If this returns true it does not mean that the instance is compliant, it merely acts as a hint.
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff the system should prefer compliance with FIPS-140-2 over compatibility with existing data or alternative non approved algorithms.
