Resolution

This is a known problem and has been addressed in Java 8u60.
Solution is to upgrade to Java 8u60 or higher.

However if upgrade is not possible, you can use following workaround:

Add "-XX:-UseAESIntrinsics" flag in JAVA_OPTS statement

Example:

JAVA_OPTS="-Dixp.home=$IXP_HOME –Xms1500m –Xmx1500m -XX:-UseAESIntrinsics" ; export JAVA_OPTS
