I am trying to learn about the Cipher library and discovered something that to me seems strange. Playing around I inadvertently encrypted my encryption key. I then discovered that if I try to decrypt that, the result is null (no exception thrown). In other words decrypting the encryption key resulted in a null decrypted
string. I don't know why that would be a practical thing to do but from an academic standpoint, would one expect that to be normal behavior? Logically I don't see why that would happen. A string is a string. TIA.
