PI42837: IBMJCECCA IMPLEMENTATION OF KEYGENERATOR#INIT() DOES NOT RESET T HE KEYGENERATOR BEFORE INITIALIZATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

Local fix

Problem summary

• The IBMJCECCA provider's implementation of KeyGenerator#init()
  does not completely reset the KeyGenerator object before
  initializing it with new initialization parameters.
  If there are two calls to KeyGenerator#init() on the same
  KeyGenerator object, the initialization parameters from the
  first init() call could still be preserved in the KeyGenerator
  object even after the second init() call.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IBMJCECCA provider has been updated to change the behavior
  of KeyGenerator#init() so that it resets the KeyGenerator object
  before initializing it with new initialization parameters.
  If there are two calls to KeyGenerator#init() on the same
  KeyGenerator object, the KeyGenerator object will be reset on
  both init() calls and be initialized with initialization
  parameters specific to each init() call.
