Calling method public void init(int, Key) with valid parameters of
NullCipher object results in NullPointerException. Please find example,
demonstrating the problem, below:
----------------------------test125.java--------------------------
import javax.crypto.*;
import javax.crypto.spec.*;
import java.security.*;

public class test125 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        NullCipher nc = new NullCipher();
        byte[] b = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
        Key k = new SecretKeySpec(b, "DES");
        try {
            nc.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, k);
            System.out.println("Init successful");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Unexpected exception " + e);
        }
        System.out.println("Finished");
    }
}
-----------------------output of test125--------------------------
java full version "1.5.0-beta-b23"
Unexpected exception java.lang.NullPointerException
Finished
