APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
NoSuchAlgorithmException: Cannot find any provider supporting PBE at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance()
Local fix
The cipher algorithm can be explicitly specified to Cipher.getInstance() instead of using Cipher.getInstance(mykey.getAlgorithm()). Alternatively, the IBMJCE provider can be specified to Cipher.getInstance().
Problem summary
PBEKey getAlgorithm() always returns "PBE" instead of the specific algorithm name.
Problem conclusion
This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 6 R1 SR8 (6.1.8.0) 7 R1 SR1 (7.1.1.0) 7 SR7 (7.0.7.0) . PBEKey getAlgorithm() will now return the specific algorithm name, for keys created after this fix. It will still return "PBE" for keys created before this fix.
Temporary fix
