Possible in theory, but since the kernel is open source, circumventing this restriction would just require a tiny patch and a recompile. The JDK jurisdiction policy works only because all the JARs which the JCE package consists of are required to be signed by Sun, _and you can't simply take out the signature checking routines_.
