java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: secret key byte array cannot be null or empty

运行一段JWT测试代码，发现报错，原因是秘钥的字符不能少于4
public class JwtTests {

    private static long tokenExpriration = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

    private static String tokenSignKey = "zyk";<错误，不能小于四个字符>
    private static String tokenSignKey = "zykg";<正确，大于四个字符>
    @Test
    public void testCreatedToken(){

        JwtBuilder jwtBuilder = Jwts.builder();
        //head.payload.signature
        //head
        String jwtToken = jwtBuilder.setHeaderParam("alg", "HS256")
                .setHeaderParam("typ","JWT")
                //payload 自定义信息
                .claim("nicname","zydkd")
                .claim("avatar","1.jpg")
                .claim("age","15")
                
                //payload 默认信息
                .setSubject("srb-user") //设置主题
                .setIssuer("zdyk")
                .setAudience("ltt")
                .setIssuedAt(new Date())
                .setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + tokenExpriration))//过期时间
                .setNotBefore(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000 * 20))
                //jti 唯一标志防止重放
                .setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString())

                //签名哈希
                .signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256, tokenSignKey)

                //组装jwt字符串
                .compact();
        System.out.println(jwtToken);
    }
