> The {{InvokeGRPC}} and {{ListenGRPC}} Processors leverage Netty for socket protocol communication, and Netty requires its own [SslContext|https://netty.io/4.1/api/io/netty/handler/ssl/SslContext.html] configuration to support TLS communication.
> The current component implementations require {{nifi-security-utils}}, which includes a dependency on the Bouncy Castle library. Refactoring the Processors to use the Netty [JdkSslContext|https://netty.io/4.1/api/io/netty/handler/ssl/JdkSslContext.html] will enable direct usage of the Java [SSLContext|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLContext.html] available through the NiFi {{SSLContextService.createContext()}} method. This approach would provide better encapsulation of {{SslContext}} configuration and remove the unnecessary dependency on the Bouncy Castle library in {{nifi-grpc-nar}}.
