Cryptix toolkit
843810Sep 18 2002 — edited Oct 9 2002Hi,
I want to use the Cryptix AES toolkit located at the URL: http://www.cryptix.org/products/aes/index.html
I have consequently downloaded the file "nist-kit.zip" which (normaly) allows to use AES algorithm in Java. I followed the installation instructions, but when I follow this stape:
"How to test an installation or compile an implementation
1. To make sure that everything works so far, or if you started editing the source files, you need to compile the sources using the CompileKit command tool.
>> java NIST.CompileKit -v -h <dir-2> Foo
The unedited sources (just after a first-time installation of the Kit) are effectively a NULL block cipher, which outputs the same data it receives on input.. No compilation errors should occur."
I obtain, the following message:
**
Cryptix AES-Kit javac tool

(type "java NIST.CompileKit" with no arguments for help)

java.lang.null.PointerException

So if anyone could help me, perhaps someone has already used this toolkit?
Thanks.
