Subject: KeyPairGenerator and Cipher Interoperability
I am trying to generate a asymetric key via KeyPairGenerator and use
this
key in a Cipher. I cannot seem to get the appropriate match of
algorithms.
What combination of algorithms would work with Jdk1.2b3 and JCE1.2? I
need
to use both the public key and the private key in two different Ciphers.
By the way, I also tried to use the keytool to generate a private key
and
use this for Cipher initialization. This failed. The algorithm used is
to
create the private key is not available for use in the Cipher class.
The ONLY algorithm that the Cipher seems to support is
"DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding".
Help ... Thanks.
