Code working in Windows, Problems in Linux

Question

I am using the following lines of code in Windows for the required encryption
KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(passPhrase.toCharArray(), this.salt, this.iterationCount);
this.key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES").generateSecret(keySpec);But this same code to get the key does not work in linux when I am using the same version on Java on both Windows and Linux. Do i need something more to get this thing working.
The Exception I got in Linux says : noSuchAlgorithmFound "PBEWithMD5AndDES"

Answer 1

Hi again,
Yes I am using the same version of Java in both Windows and Linux. The version I am using is "1.5.0_06"
My code is as follows
import javax.crypto.*;
import javax.crypto.spec.*;

            // Prepare the parameter to the ciphers
