    Subject: bug?

Hi,

I'm using JCE1.2 and JDK1.2.1 on Windows NT Workstation 4.0

MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md.update(input_text.getBytes(),0,input_text.length()); // no problem

BUT, the KeyGenerators throw exceptions

KeyGenerator generator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES"); // and
KeyGenerator generator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("RSA");

// throw java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm DES
not available

Can I assume that JCE and JDK1.2.1 are configured properly if MD5 works?

Or is it possible that the path or classpath are incomplete?

thanks,

Sean
