Subject: Previous mail
[I'm having trouble reading mail from home, so I don't know if anyone
responded to my previous mail or not. . .]
Strangely enough:
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/OFB8/NoPadding");
cipher.init(javax.crypto.Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
AlgorithmParameters ap = cipher.getParameters();
cipher.init(javax.crypto.Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, ap);
works fine, while
cipher.init(javax.crypto.Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
gives an error.
So it'll initialize ENCRYPT_MODE using default algorithm parameters (I
would presume), which I can then give to the DECRYPT_MODe.
But it won't initialize DECRYPT_MODE unless the parameters are expressly
presented.
Not nearly as bad as I originally thought, but still slightly quirky.
