encrypt using RSA? (newbee)

hi
wanted to make a test to encrypt/decrypt using RSA.

ia managed to create the public and private key but have problem using
them to encrypt anything.

i try to create a Cipher (as one can do using DES), but then i get:

Cipher rsaCipher;
rsaCipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");

when i run the proram i get:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Cannot find any provider
supporting RSA


maybee i should do it in a rather different way, but how?

thanks
stig

Here are some simple samples which compare RSA encryption in Java2, .NET
and CryptoAPI:

You're using Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA).
To work with it, you must use one or more
cryptographic provider.

A Cryptographic provider provides you some implementation of
known cryptographic algorithms (including RSA).

Exception (reported above) indicates you that Security System can't
find
any provider implementing RSA algorithm.

You can get a free provider (called BouncyCastle Provider)
from web at http://www.bouncycastle.org or .com (I don't remember).

Now you must proceeded in this way:

1. Add the jar file that you have downloaded from BC
site (as indicated above) to your classpath.

2. Register BC provider dinamically into your Security
System as below:
Security.addProvider(new
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());

3. Use RSA implementation provided by BC (Bouncy Castle)
as follow:
rsaCipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA"); or explicity
rsaCipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA","BC");

I hope that my english is readable :-(
