> The ARCFOUR128/256 ciphers inherit the default _BaseCipher#init_ implementation which creates an initialization vector. For RC4, this is not required - and indeed causes _java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: Parameters not supported_ when the cipher is initialized - even though everything is in order (e.g., see what happens when _SshServer#setUpDefaultCiphers_ is run). This means that these RC4 ciphers are *never* available. The fix (see attached patch file) is to override the _init_ method and provide only a key.
