    Subject: Unrecoverable key exception

I put a PKCS8 file into a keystore using the KeyStore.setKeyEntry(String, =
byte[], Certificate[]) method and cannot retrieve it. The exception I get =
is java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Unsupported key protection =
algorithm. The OID of the encryption algorithm is 1.2.840.113549.1.5.3 =
(MD5 and DES). =20

If it makes any difference, the key's OID is 1.2.840.113549.1.1.1 (RSA). =
I have an RSA KeyFactory provider to enable the KeyStore to construct a =
PrivateKey.

Any idea what's gone wrong?
