[Cryptix-users] Problems with criptix

[Ivan P. <iva...@gm...>]

Hello everybody,

   I have a big problem with Criptix. In my project we use a JCE for encryp=
t
message with AES algorith.
   Now I encrypt messages with PGP and I have the next problem :

       If I use the provider Cryptix I can't use AES algorithms.
       If I use Sun JCE provider when I'm going to encrypt a message ones
take place the next error :


 java.security.InvalidKeyException: Not an ElGamalKey
at cryptix.jce.provider.elgamal.ElGamalCipher.engineInit(ElGamalCipher.java
:134)
at javax.crypto.Cipher.init(DashoA6275)
at cryptix.openpgp.algorithm.PGPElGamal.encrypt(PGPElGamal.java:550)
at cryptix.openpgp.packet.PGPPublicKeyEncryptedSessionKeyPacket.encrypt(
PGPPublicKeyEncryptedSessionKeyPacket.java:153)
.........


   Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

        Hello and this may seem like a routine and simple answer;
however, when I had this issue the problem was I was not using Java's
Strong policy jar files. Also the other issue could be the provider not
in the class path. Just some thoughts,
