Hi all,
   I'm having a bit of a problem getting cryptix-openpgp (the latest
version 20050418-snap from http://www.cryptix.org/) to work. I've
followed the readme file:

1.installed SUN's "Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files"
2.changed $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security to inclued:
 security.provider.1=cryptix.jce.provider.CryptixCrypto
 security.provider.2=cryptix.openpgp.provider.CryptixOpenPGP
3.compiled the examples with:
~/openpgp/examples$ javac -classpath
../cryptix-openpgp-provider.jar:../cryptix-message-api.jar:../cryptix-pki-api.jar:../certpath-api-compat.jar:../bin/cryptix-jce-provider.jar:../bin/cryptix-jce-api.jar
cryptix/openpgp/examples/*.java

(no errors)

4.tryed to run one of the examples (GenerateAndWriteKey is required to
run the rest it seems) with:

~/openpgp/examples$ java -classpath
../cryptix-openpgp-provider.jar:../cryptix-message-api.jar:../cryptix-pki-api.jar:../certpath-api-compat.jar:../bin/cryptix-jce-provider.jar:../bin/cryptix-jce-api.jar:.
cryptix/openpgp/examples/GenerateAndWriteKey

and got the following error:

changeing to other algorithms like didn't help. when i changed the
example to use RSA i got:

any idea what went wromg? I'm using Java 1.5 BTW, which is supported as
far as the readme says
