This is covered by existing TCK test and thus the request for clarification. This is provider-specific, i.e. depending on how provider registers its implementation, it may leads to different exceptions. Given that the difference is only the type of exception, e.g. `NoSuchAlgorithmException` vs `NoSuchPaddingException`, I don't feel it's that critical to add a regression test in addition to the existing TCK test.
