Re: IllegalBlockSizeException when .jar compiled into .NET dll

I have the following piece of code as part of my .jar file which is
then compiled into a .NET dll using IKVM. The code runs fine when run
as a jar but on using the .NET dll I receive an
IllegalBlockSizeException. Apparently the conversion into the dll is
causing the error, but I can't figure out what I need to do work
around this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cipher ecipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES");

ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, mySpec);

byte[] utf8 = "encryptThis".getBytes("UTF8");
byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(utf8); // IllegalBlockSizeException here

IKVM is a very cool tool, but it is in no way supported !

Try encrypt a string that is a multipla of 8.

If that works then try:

Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding")
