that's strange.  you're describing a symmetry problem in the 
implementation which we check for in more than one place:

* in the selfTest() method:  all our implementations implement such a 
test, which gets automagically invoked when you request a cipher 
instance from the CipherFactory.getInstance() method.

* in the mauve tests: specifically in the TestOfCipherFactory testlet.


can you submit some code that highlights this error?


cheers;
