      The spec states for the KeyGenerator.getInstance(String alg, Provider
      provider) method:
      "Throws:
      NoSuchAlgorithmException - if a key generator for the specified algorithm is
      not available from the specified provider."

      Instead, the NullPointerException is thrown when alg = null.
