Thread: Writing an encryption program, and keep getting this exception.

I am writing a message encryption program, and keep getting this exception listed below. (Yes I have installed the unlimited strength policy files.)

When I run the program it works until the very end. First It asks you to put a password for the encryption. When the user has entered the password it creates a key for it. It then prompts you to enter whether you are encrypting or encrypting text. After picking the encryption option it asks you to enter the text to be encrypted. When the text is entered it gives you the exception above. Below this I will include the code for the entire program.

Sorry this response took so long. I have been in the car all day. I am very new to java, so don't be mad if this question is basic, but what do you mean the program hangs? Also which scanner are you talking about? Again forgive me, but I am very new at Java.

Ahh thank you so much. I understand what I did wrong now.

Thank you Norm. You helped me alot. I think I know how to fix the code now.
