I know it's pretty late to answer here, but adding my solution as I had a tough time with this:

My Issue: While deploying an application (a WAR file) that has dependencies on Bouncy Castle libraries, I faced this issue: `

cannot create instance of
org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.digest.GOST3411$Mappings
 java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
("java.security.SecurityPermission"
"putProviderProperty.BC")

`

Here is what I did and it worked for me: Go to: {Installed JDK path}\jre\lib\security\ Open the file java.policy

Add permission: permission java.security.SecurityPermission "putProviderProperty.BC";

Restart the programs to load the changes.

I am yet to understand how exactly this works or if it is safe to just change java.policy file like this (still looking for other ways to achieve such a configuration).

Do take precautions with such a change. More at Oracle's doc
