Sorry, I was wrong on the provider specific block size, I was confusing the block size with the processing size in bits talked about in the overview of the Javadoc for Cipher. According to this thread, block size is an inherent value of the algorithm, thus if that is true, Derby does not need to store the block size at all. Just fetch it each time from the Cipher.getBlockSize() method. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=9&thread=281987 Dan. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBdW4IIv0S4qsbfuQRAnlBAJ9b/nDabeE4c5omRGeClPUZ0oIwiQCfRQBt aK+EI34War6DTd4jWVd+8k4= =dDd7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
