>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Crypto
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3
>            Reporter: Markus Fensterer

> Using AES-Encryption with PdfBox and Bouncycastle yields a null pointer. When JCE is used everything works nicely:  com.sun.crypt.provider.AESCipher returns an empty byte array for the last 16 bytes of the metadata dictionary. Bouncycastle returns a null reference.
