1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads

2. Click "Download" button next to "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7" near the end of the page.

3. Save the download file as "UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip".

4. Unzip the above file and copy "local_policy.jar" and "US_export_policy.jar" to "c:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\security" folder. You can now use your JVM 7 to work with very strong encryption keys like 4096-bit RSA private and public key pair.
