[Bug crypto/28104] New: Cipher.init(...) does not check if the passed parameters are valid

[mwringe at redhat dot com]

Cipher.init(...) does not check if the passed parameters are valid or not.

For example:

        int blocksize = 8;     
        byte[] iv = new byte[blocksize -1];
        encrypt = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding", "GNU-CRYPTO");
        encrypt.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, new IvParameterSpec(iv));

According to the javadocs, a InvalidAlgorithmParameterException should be
thrown as the IV is too short. This is also the behaviour of BouncyCastle.
