What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create and use an encrypted form as per the instructions.
2. Install Briefcase.
3. Download and attempt to decrypt encrypted submissions.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You expect decryption to work. Instead, in the vast majority of cases, it gives
an "illegal key size" error. This is because the user's JRE installation needs
to be manually upgraded with the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited
Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. This is a serious pain.
Would be nice for Briefcase to have an installer that automates or at least
semi-automates installation of the necessary files. Alternatively, might
default to weaker encryption and allow users to specify stronger encryption
once their JRE's have been upgraded. (As it stands, users in export-restricted
countries can never use ODK encryption unless an option for weaker encryption
is allowed.)
