why there is no AESKeySpec?

843811Nov 13 2006 — edited Nov 13 2006

Hi All,
Lack of AESKeySpec creating many problems, as we can't give our own SecretKey (say, 0xabcdef....) that is 128 bits long for AES Encryption.
Also, SecretKeyFactory doesn't generate AES keys.
I wonder about SUN's decision,(maybe because of legalities?)
well, the problem is obvious, generating 'raw' AES keys from password+salt.
