APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: When creating an AES AlgorithmParamaters object,
  purposely initializing it with an 8 byte initialization vector,
  the PKCS11Impl provider does not detect it as an exception.
  Creating and initializing the same object with either the IBMJCE
  provider or the IBMJCECCA provider, each provider throws an
  exception.

Problem summary

• IBMPKCS11Impl doesn't check the IV length when creating
  AlgorithmParameters
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is to add the IV length check for different algorithms
  when creating AlgorithmParameters.The associated RTC PR is
