             Summary: EncryptedKey security issue with streaming code
                 Key: WSS-413
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-413
             Project: WSS4J
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
             Fix For: 2.0



Instead of throwing an exception when encountering a problem in processing an 
EncryptedKey, we should instead generate a session key and attempt to decrypt 
the EncryptedData structure instead (take a look at the DOM code here). This 
prevents timing attacks to see where the error was in processing the key versus 
data.
