Exception in thread “main” Java security. Invalidkeyexception: illegal key size or default parameter

The following code throws this error message:

Exception in thread "main" Java security. Invalidkeyexception: illegal key size or default parameter

Cipher dcipher;

byte[] salt = new String("12345678").getBytes();
int iterationCount = 1024;
int keyStrength = 256;
SecretKey key;
byte[] iv;

Decrypter(String passPhrase) throws Exception {
    SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory
            .getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1");
    System.out.println("factory +" + factory);
    KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(passPhrase.tocharArray(),salt,iterationCount,keyStrength);
    System.out.println("spec  " + spec);
    SecretKey tmp = factory.generateSecret(spec);
    System.out.println();
    key = new SecretKeySpec(tmp.getEncoded(),"AES");
    dcipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
}

public String encrypt(String data) throws Exception {
    dcipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE,key);
    AlgorithmParameters params = dcipher.getParameters();
    iv = params.getParameterSpec(IvParameterSpec.class).getIV();
    byte[] utf8EncryptedData = dcipher.doFinal(data.getBytes());
    String base64EncryptedData = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder()
            .encodeBuffer(utf8EncryptedData);

    System.out.println("IV "
            + new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encodeBuffer(iv));
    System.out.println("Encrypted Data " + base64EncryptedData);
    return base64EncryptedData;

Does anyone know why I got this mistake?

Solution

Maybe you haven't installed JCE policy files yet

Download this file:

> Java 6 > Java 7 > Java 8

And install the file in ${Java. Home} / JRE / lib / security /

${Java. Home} refers to the installation directory of Java

For Mac:

>Open finder > shift g > type / library / Java / javavirtualmachines > navigate to your JDK version, then contents / home / JRE / lib / Security > extract the downloaded files and put all the files here

For cli

unzip downloaded_policy_file.zip  -d /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<JDK_VERSION>/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/

mv /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<JDK_VERSION>/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK<VERSION>/* /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<JDK_VERSION>/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security  

rm -rf Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<JDK_VERSION>/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK<VERSION>/
