Could it be that the first excerpt (https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/blob/def7c676148f26... ) should not have included the line with .setIsStrongBoxBacked(true) yet?

Edit: funny: 0dd0adde looks a lot like deadd00d (like "dead dude") with a reversed byte order. If this is a coincidence?

Very interesting observation!

"Comments on a number of StackOverflow questions have pointed out that a fault address of deadd00d indicates a deliberate VM abort."

That ending up in the ciphertext multiple times seems to point to some memory corruption issue. It's also a good argument for using magic numbers that stand out.

You're absolutely right about the excerpt. Fixed, thanks.
