I'm trying to securely store a password in a database and for that I chose to store its hash generated using the PBKDF2 function. I want to do this using the bouncy castle library but I don't know why I cannot get it to work by using the JCE interface... The problem is that generating the hash in 3 different modes:
1. using the PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 secret key factory provided by sun
2. using the bouncy castle api directly
3. using the bouncy castle through JCE
results in 2 distinct values: one common to the first two and one for the third.

Here is my code:

    //Mode 1

    SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1");
    KeySpec keyspec = new PBEKeySpec("password".toCharArray(), salt, 1000, 128);
    Key key = factory.generateSecret(keyspec);
    System.out.println(key.getClass().getName());
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(key.getEncoded()));

    //Mode 2

    PBEParametersGenerator generator = new PKCS5S2ParametersGenerator();
    generator.init(PBEParametersGenerator.PKCS5PasswordToUTF8Bytes(("password").toCharArray()), salt, 1000);
    KeyParameter params = (KeyParameter)generator.generateDerivedParameters(128);
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(params.getKey()));

    //Mode 3

    SecretKeyFactory factorybc = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWITHHMACSHA1", "BC");
    KeySpec keyspecbc = new PBEKeySpec("password".toCharArray(), salt, 1000, 128);
    Key keybc = factorybc.generateSecret(keyspecbc);
    System.out.println(keybc.getClass().getName());
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(keybc.getEncoded()));
    System.out.println(keybc.getAlgorithm());

I know that PBKDF2 is implemented using HMAC SHA1 so that is why i chose as algorithm in the last method the "PBEWITHHMACSHA1" which i took from the bouncy castle java docs.

The output is the following:

com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE_ae
[-53, 29, 113, -110, -25, 76, 115, -127,
