[iaik-jce] Provider "IAIK" not found

["Robert Semenoff" <r.semenoff@worldnet.att.net>]

 Cipher cipher;
 cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RC4", "IAIK");

Is throwing "provider not found" when running as an applet in a browser. 

I'm using JDK1.17B only, -classpath is pointing to rsa_rc4.jar, iaik-jce-ae2.51,

and jdx11x_update.jar (although I can't tell if the last one's necessary or not with iaik-jce-ae2.51).

Everything compiles with no errors and no warnings.

 

So after checking the mailing list archives, I find I need to add the following:

 

import iaik.security.provider.IAIK;
...

 iaik.security.provider.IAIK.addAsProvider(true);

but now this also throws an exception ("method not found").

 

I'm at a loss as to what I could be missing. Can anyone verify that this has been done before

(using RC4 cipher objects in a standalone applet, using only JDK1.17B) ?
