> `PKCS12KeyStore` always uses a 20-byte salt in encryption but PBEWithMD5AndDES only accepts 8-byte salt. With this code change, the salt used for this algorithm will be 8 bytes.
> 
> RFC 2898 only requires the salt to be at least 8 bytes, but I don't intend to modify the `PBES1Core.java` to accept a long salt. Otherwise, a newly generated PKCS #⁠12 file using a long salt will not be recognized by an old JDK.
> 
> Also, although `PBES1Core.java` also take cares of another algorithm named PBEWithMD5AndDESede but it's not usable in a PKCS #⁠12 keystore as we have not defined its Object Identifier anywhere.
