Subject: Stupid question
Why is it that when I try to implement the example code listed in:
JavaTM Cryptography Extension
API Specification & Reference
Last Modified: 27 February 1997
I can't get any of the algorithms to work:
KeyGenerator keygen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES");
produces:
---------
KeyGenerator: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: algorithm
DES not available.
Cipher des = Cipher.getInstance("DES", "CBC", "PKCS#5");
and this gives me a syntax error.
I really do not know much about cryptography, I am just trying to
implement a simple password/login class for an application that
needs access to data separated into groups.
