Problem with Java PGP

Hello-

I am working to implement Java PGP decryption in a web app. The target
documents are being encrypted and then placed on the application
server. The app will be decrypting at runtime. I have been able to
implement the Java code on a Sybase application server, but when I
moved the code over to the WAS6 environment, it failed with the
following exception:
"Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters"

After doing some reading, I found that changing the JCE policy JARs
under the lib/security folder could fix the issue above. So I put them
in place, but then I got this exception:
"Class not found: javax/crypto/b"

I have the jce.jar file in the classpath, but still no good.

If anyone has any insight into a resolution for the above issues, I
would love to hear it.

Thanks,


Andrew Maddox

I solved my issue. I needed to use the IBM unlimited jars not the Sun
jars. Then all was well.

So PGP is not part of Sun's JCE implementation but is part of some IBM
implementation?  Which one?

BouncyCastle provides PGP libs for Java. Just in case you didn't know.
