Description
There are two issues in the PKCS12KeyStore:

 . if an incorrect password is specified, we get a random decryption failure exception rather than a message saying that the password is incorrect. This is because we first try to decrypt and only then verify the MAC:

 . if an empty password is supplied, we get a failure due to division by zero:
