      The JGroups ENCRYPT algorithm used asym_provider for KeyGenerator lookup, but not Cipher lookup. Additionally, the sym_provider value was hard-coded to "null". ENCRYPT would not work correctly when custom security providers were specified. The fix allows the ENCRYPT algorithm to use the security provider for symmetric encryption. In addition to the key generators, the security providers are now used to find ciphers. This allows ENCRYPT to use the specified security providers.

    Description

      ENCRYPT allows the asym_provider to be specified.
      But it only uses it for the KeyGenerator lookup, not the Cipher lookup.
      And the sym_provider is hard-coded to null.
