[Bug classpath/25143] New: javax.crypto.EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo constructor does not accept algorithm names, only OIDs

[berrange at redhat dot com]

If one creates an instance of the javax.crypto.EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo class
using the (String, byte[]) constructor, passing in an algorithm name such as
'DSA' as the first param, ClassPath throws a NumberFormatException while trying
to parse the algorithm name. It looks like the code is trying to treat the
algorithm name as if it were an algorithm OID, rather than a name:

java.lang.NumberFormatException
   at java.lang.Integer.parseInt (Integer.java:768)
   at java.lang.Integer.parseInt (Integer.java:261)
   at gnu.java.security.OID.fromString (OID.java:479)
   at gnu.java.security.OID.OID (OID.java:155)
   at gnu.java.security.OID.OID (OID.java:138)
   at javax.crypto.EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo.EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo
(EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo.java:171)


The API docs for EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo, however, suggest that using an 
algorithm name is allowed:

"algName - encryption algorithm name. See Appendix A in the  Java Cryptography
 Extension Reference Guide  for information about standard Cipher algorithm
 names."
