Replacing Bouncy Castle With JsafeJCE Provider

977049Nov 29 2012

Hi,
I have replaced bouncy castle provider with JsafeJCE, got an exception saying InvalidKeySpecException

java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: Could not decode key from BER. (Invalid encoding: expected tag not there.)
com.rsa.cryptoj.f.eW.b(Unknown Source)
com.rsa.cryptoj.f.eW.engineGeneratePrivate(Unknown Source)
java.security.KeyFactory.generatePrivate(KeyFactory.java:336)

Same code works fine with BouncyCastle...

below is the snippet

KeyFactory fact = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA",JsafeJCE.BASE_PROVIDER_NAME);
PrivateKey privateKey = fact.generatePrivate(new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(Base64.decodeBase64(privateKeyString.getBytes())) );
PublicKey publicKey = certificate.getPublicKey();

Any Help is appreciated... Thanks in advance
