Error description
Error Message: The block size for Password-Based Encryption (PBE) algorithms specifying AES as the cipher algorithm is incorrectly reported as 8 instead of 16 by IBMJCEPlus provider. . Stack Trace: N/A .
Local fix
Determine the correct block size from the PBE algorithm name. If the PBE algorithm name contains "AES" then the block size should be 16.
Problem summary
The block size reported by IBMJCEPlus for Password-Based Encryption (PBE) algorithms using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is incorrect.
