As a part of project implementation,I have done: 1. Generete DSA keys 2. Encrypt the private key using AES 3. Save into the file 4. Open the file and read the encrypted private key 5. I tried to convert the read value into primary key format

While I am trying to execute the above code, it shows the following error!
Ciphertext and keys should both consist of random bytes. Neither one of them can be represented 1:1 with a string. Not all bytes may represent valid encodings for a specific character-encoding.
Instead you should use byte arrays directly. If you require actual text, use either hexadecimals or base 64 encoding.
Your code using ciphertext as bytes and a key specified in hexadecimals:
