jaspyt 1.9.2 null error message related to - JCE Java Cryptography Extention

While trying to encrypt values with Blowfish, I got a Java Runtime exception from jaspyt 1.9.2 with null exeptiin message. Turns out that jdk-1.7.0 was installed on the server before the 1.8.0 installed.
In JAVA_HOME/lib/security the security.policy did not include JCE. This was the cause for the exception.
