Yes, it makes sense to list NSPE before NSAE. As for the NSAE vs NSPE, it's somewhat complicated due to the various provider registrations documented in the javax.crypto.CipherSpi class. There could be situations which NSAE is thrown besides the unsupported algorithm and/or mode. E.g. provider supports the algorithm and mode and a different padding scheme and registers the support through full transformation instead of only the algorithm and mode. The former case leads to NSAE vs the other one leads to NSPE. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26489#issuecomment-3204239679
