I have been struggling with decrypting some data that is being encrypted on a Unix machine via SSL, I keep getting padding errors, and am unsure what it is that I am missing.
The encrypted file is a simple text file just saying "Hello World".
The encryption command used in unix is:
openssl enc -base64 -aes-256-cbc -k 12345678901234567890123456789012 -in test.txt -out cbc64.txt
I have 2 methods that I am using to decrypt:
private static CipherMode sCipherMode = CipherMode.CBC;
private static PaddingMode sPaddingMode = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
private const int HigKeyLen = 32;
private const int HigKeySiz = 256;
public static string decrypt(string text, //the text to be decrypt
int cipherindex// the strength of the original encryption
)
{
byte[] plainText = null;
try
{
string tempText = Regex.Replace(text, #"\n", "");
//get the cipher strength--from cipherindex
CipherKey Key = CipherKey.getCipherKey(cipherindex);
//build and init the Decryptor
RijndaelManaged rijndaelCipher = new RijndaelManaged();
rijndaelCipher.Mode = sCipherMode;
rijndaelCipher.Padding = sPaddingMode;
rijndaelCipher.KeySize = Key.Size;
rijndaelCipher.BlockSize = Key.Size;
byte[] encryptedData = Convert.FromBase64String(tempText);
byte[] pwdBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pass);
byte[] keyBytes = new byte[Key.Len];
int len = pwdBytes.Length;
if (len > keyBytes.Length)
{
len = keyBytes.Length;
}
Array.Copy(pwdBytes, keyBytes, len);
rijndaelCipher.Key = keyBytes;
rijndaelCipher.IV = keyBytes;
ICryptoTransform transform = rijndaelCipher.CreateDecryptor();
plainText = transform.TransformFinalBlock(encryptedData, 0, encryptedData.Length);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// test code, do nothing
}
return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plainText);
}
This returns the following error: Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.
The second method:
public static string Decryptor(string TextToDecrypt)
{
byte[] EncryptedBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(Regex.Replace(TextToDecrypt, #"\n", ""));
//Setup the AES provider for decrypting.
AesCryptoServiceProvider aesProvider = new AesCryptoServiceProvider();
//aesProvider.Key = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strKey);
//aesProvider.IV = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strIV);
aesProvider.BlockSize = 128;
aesProvider.KeySize = 256;
//My key and iv that i have used in openssl
aesProvider.Key = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pass);
aesProvider.IV = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pass);
aesProvider.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
aesProvider.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
ICryptoTransform cryptoTransform = aesProvider.CreateDecryptor(aesProvider.Key, aesProvider.IV);
byte[] DecryptedBytes = cryptoTransform.TransformFinalBlock(EncryptedBytes, 0, EncryptedBytes.Length);
return System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(DecryptedBytes);
}
The second method gives an issue due to the password not being the right length for the blocksize.
What is it that I am doing wrong?
You openssl command is wrong, I assume it should be:
openssl enc -base64 -aes-256-cbc -k 12345678901234567890123456789012 -in test.txt -out cbc64.txt
reading your code I see you made a few wrong assumptions:
You are using the password as a key and as IV (where did you get that?)
Password is not key
you've assumed the output is pure ciphertext
try to add -p parameter to the openssl enc command and it will display as well salt and derived key and iv
So lets fix that:
OpenSSL generates random 8 bytes salt
OpenSSL uses its "magic" function EVP_BytesToKey to derive the key and IV from the passsword and salt, example impl in c#
OpenSSL output looks like: base64(Salted_{salt}{ciphertext})

I did some encryption using PHP in my Database and would normally decrypt using:
$encrypt_method = "AES-256-CBC";
$secret_key = "testing";
$secret_iv = "testingyes!!!";
$key = hash('sha256', $secret_key); // hash the key
$iv = substr(hash('sha256', $secret_iv), 0, 16); // iv - encrypt method AES-256-CBC expects 16 bytes - else you will get a warning
echo(openssl_decrypt(base64_decode($data), $encrypt_method, $key, 0, $iv)); // the decrypted data
I'm trying to do the same task but with C# 2013 to decrypt the same data, any ideas?
I would encrypt in php using:
$encrypt_method = "AES-256-CBC";
$secret_key = "testing";
$secret_iv = "testingyes!!!";
$key = hash('sha256', $secret_key); // hash the key
$iv = substr(hash('sha256', $secret_iv), 0, 16); // iv - encrypt method AES-256-CBC expects 16 bytes - else you will get a warning
echo(base64_encode(openssl_encrypt($data, $encrypt_method, $key, 0, $iv))); // the encrypted data
encrypting: this is a test
gives: d0EzQ2MvMHkxRks2cXg5NkFkK2twZz09=
I tried this in C#:
public static String sha256_hash(String value)
{
StringBuilder Sb = new StringBuilder();
using (SHA256 hash = SHA256Managed.Create())
{
Encoding enc = Encoding.UTF8;
Byte[] result = hash.ComputeHash(enc.GetBytes(value));
foreach (Byte b in result)
Sb.Append(b.ToString("x2"));
}
return Sb.ToString();
}
private static String AES_decrypt(String Input)
{
RijndaelManaged aes = new RijndaelManaged();
aes.KeySize = 256;
aes.BlockSize = 256;
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
aes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
aes.Key = Convert.FromBase64String(sha256_hash("testing"));
aes.IV = Convert.FromBase64String(sha256_hash("testingyes!!!").Substring(0, 16));
var decrypt = aes.CreateDecryptor();
byte[] xBuff = null;
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var cs = new CryptoStream(ms, decrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
byte[] xXml = Convert.FromBase64String(Input);
cs.Write(xXml, 0, xXml.Length);
}
xBuff = ms.ToArray();
}
String Output = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(xBuff);
return Output;
}
string cipherData = "d0EzQ2MvMHkxRks2cXg5NkFkK2twZz09=";
string f = AES_decrypt(cipherData);
Console.Write(f);
But I'm getting error: specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm
However the key I'm using is working when I use PHP
RijndaelManaged aes = new RijndaelManaged();
aes.KeySize = 256;
aes.BlockSize = 256;
Block size should be 128 to be compatible with AES-256-CBC.
Rijndael supports variable block sizes - AES does not.
Hi there i'm using this encryption method to encrypt my json value in .net side
public static string Encrypt256(string text)
{
AesCryptoServiceProvider aes = new AesCryptoServiceProvider();
aes.BlockSize = 128;
aes.KeySize = 256;
aes.IV = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AesIV256);
aes.Key = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AesKey256);
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
byte[] src = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(text);
using (ICryptoTransform encrypt = aes.CreateEncryptor())
{
byte[] dest = encrypt.TransformFinalBlock(src, 0, src.Length);
Debug.WriteLine(Convert.ToBase64String(dest));
return Convert.ToBase64String(dest);
}
}
And im trying to decrypt it in Node Js side
var crypto = require('crypto'),
algorithm = process.env.tombalaCryptoAlgorithm,
password = process.env.tombalaHmacPass,
iv = '!QAZ2WSX#EDC4RFV'
function encrypt(text) {
var cipher = crypto.createCipheriv(algorithm, password, iv)
var encrypted = cipher.update(text, 'utf8', 'base64')
encrypted += cipher.final('base64');
return encrypted;
You are converting your text to be encrypted to Unicode which means UTF-16.
In UTF-16 every character consists of two bytes. If the second byte is not used it is null as you have observed.
I assume you want UTF-8 encoding. Therefore replace the line
byte[] src = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(text);
with
byte[] src = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
This question already has an answer here:
C# version of OpenSSL EVP_BytesToKey method?

I've encrypted a file that contains "Hola mundo" in Openssl with the command below. Then, I want to decrypt this file using C#.
enc -des-ede -nosalt -in ArchivoNormal.txt -pass file:MiCertificado.cer -out ArchivoEncryptadoTDEOpenSSL.txt
1) In order to get the public key from MiCertificado.cer
private byte[] GenerateKey()
{
X509Certificate2 cer = new X509Certificate2();
cer.Import("D:\\MiCertificado.cer");
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider desCrypto = (TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider)TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider.Create();
byte[] results = cer.GetPublicKey();
MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();
int preKeyLength = results.Length;
byte[] prekey = null;
prekey = new byte[preKeyLength];
Buffer.BlockCopy(results, 0, prekey, 0, results.Length);
byte[] key = md5.ComputeHash(prekey);
md5.Clear();
md5 = null;
return key;
}
2) In order to decrypt the encrypted file
private void DecryptFile(string source, string destination, byte[] bkey )
{
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider TDES = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
TDES.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
TDES.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
TDES.KeySize = 192;
TDES.BlockSize = 64;
TDES.Key = bkey;
FileStream fsread = new FileStream(source, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
ICryptoTransform desdecrypt = TDES.CreateDecryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostreamDecr = new CryptoStream(fsread, desdecrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Read);
StreamWriter fsDecrypted = new StreamWriter(destination);
fsDecrypted.Write(new StreamReader(cryptostreamDecr).ReadToEnd());
fsDecrypted.Flush();
fsDecrypted.Close();
}
It returns an error "Datos Incorrectos"
OpenSSL isn't using the certificate as a certificate in your example, it's just using the contents of the file as a password. It then turns that password into an appropriate key/IV for your 3DES operation using EVP_BytesToKey, with MD5 as the digest since you didn't specify one.
Since it's just reading the file as bytes changing it from DER to PEM encoding, or PEM encoding with extra whitespace will change your encrypted output.
If you're expecting to do something when the public key of the certificate here, then your openssl command isn't right.
I want to encrypt all the data I send through the Java/C# sockets (Java server, C# client).
I would like to use AES256, but I can't get the Java and C# to generate the same encrypted code. Can anyone give me two examples, 1 in Java and 1 in C# that generate the same results and decrypts the results properly?
What I tried so far:
public Encrypt(AOBCore instance){
try {
String message="This is just an example";
// Get the KeyGenerator
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
kgen.init(256); // 192 and 256 bits may not be available
// Generate the secret key specs.
SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey(); //Cantget 'test' in here...
byte[] raw = skey.getEncoded();
SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
// Instantiate the cipher
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
byte[] encrypted =
cipher.doFinal(message.getBytes());
System.out.println("encrypted string: " + asHex(encrypted));
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
byte[] original =
cipher.doFinal(encrypted);
String originalString = new String(original);
System.out.println("Original string: " +
originalString + " " + asHex(original));
} catch (Exception e) {
instance.logMessage(e.getMessage());
}
}
public static String asHex (byte buf[]) {
StringBuffer strbuf = new StringBuffer(buf.length * 2);
int i;
for (i = 0; i < buf.length; i++) {
if (((int) buf[i] & 0xff) < 0x10)
strbuf.append("0");
strbuf.append(Long.toString((int) buf[i] & 0xff, 16));
}
return strbuf.toString();
}
}

byte[] encryptedBytes = Convert.FromBase64CharArray(encryptedText.ToCharArray(), 0, encryptedText.Length);
return ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypto.TransformFinalBlock(encryptedBytes, 0, encryptedBytes.Length));
}
The problem is that you aren't specifying the ciphermode or the padding in the Java code. This will use the algorithm defaults, which is never something you want to do when interoperability with other libraries is required. Initialize your Cipher like this:
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
PKCS5 in Java should be compatible with PKCS7 in .Net according to this answer. Since you are wisely using CBC you are going to need to modify the code to use the same initialization vector for both encryption and decryption. You should NOT use the secret key for that. The IV should be randomly generated. You can use the IV that the Java Cipher generated for encryption by calling cipher.getIV().
Also, take care to be consistent with character encodings as has been mentioned in the comments.
I am trying to encrypt strings in .NET by using a RSA algorithm and decrypt the result in Java. At the moment, I have been able to do the opposite (Encrypt in Java, Decrypt in .NET).
Here I have my code that actually works (JAVA encryption):
byte[] modulusBytes = Base64.decode("2rRVVVFJRbH/wAPDtnwZwu+nxU+AZ6uXxh/sW+AMCBogg7vndZsnRiHoLttYYPqOyOhfgaBOQogrIfrKL4lipK4m52SBzw/FfcM9DsKs/rYR83tBLiIAfgdnVjF27tZID+HJMFTiI30mALjr7+tfp+2lIACXA1RIKTk7S9pDmX8=");
byte[] exponentBytes = Base64.decode("AQAB");
BigInteger modulus = new BigInteger(1, modulusBytes );
BigInteger exponent = new BigInteger(1, exponentBytes);
RSAPublicKeySpec rsaPubKey = new RSAPublicKeySpec(modulus, exponent);
KeyFactory fact = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PublicKey pubKey = fact.generatePublic(rsaPubKey);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, pubKey);
byte[] plainBytes = new String("big kitty dancing").getBytes("UTF-8");
byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal( plainBytes );
String encryptedString = Base64.encode(cipherData);
return encryptedString;
And (.NET decryption)
const int PROVIDER_RSA_FULL = 1;
const string CONTAINER_NAME = "Tracker";

The last few lines of your Java decrypt code do not make sense. These lines are:
byte[] base64String = Base64.decode(encodedString);
byte[] plainBytes = new String(base64String).getBytes("UTF-8");
byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal(plainBytes);
System.out.println(cipherData);
return cipherData.toString();
You have to reverse the order of the steps you used to encrypt in .NET. First, you should Base64 decode the encoded string to get the cipher bytes. You did that, but you mislabeled the result as base64String. You probably should call this result cipherData. Second, you need to decrypt cipherData to get plain text. Third, you should create a string from plainbytes using the two-arg String constructor with the Charset for the second argument. Here is what the code should look like, or close to it.
byte[] cipherData = Base64.decode(encodedString);
byte[] plainBytes = cipher.doFinal(cipherData);
return new String(plainBytes, "UTF-8");
Finally, in Java every object has a toString() method but it doesn't always do what you want. For arrays the toString() method simply returns a representation of object id for that array, sort of the JVM equivalent of a memory address.
EDIT:
I missed that you are also using the wrong key in your decrypt code. Your are using the RSA public key, but you must instead use the RSA private key.
Here is the answer I couldn't post yesterday, related to the first answer to my post.
Well, I have tested the code and I have some problems. I have tried not to change anything unless it was completely necessary.
First I get an error here:
Cipher rsaCipher = Cipher.getInstance(RSA_ALGORITHM, CRYPTO_PROVIDER);
The "Entrust" crypto provider is not recognized... So I left just the first parameter. Then I get this error:
javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Data must start with zero
I have tried through a WebService written in .NET which returns always byte arrays. Maybe there is some kind of problem in the translation. I know that I have to use Base64 numbers and (if I don't use AES) I have to break my Strings into pieces with the size of 128 bytes (limited by the RSA key).
I am still working on the problem to realize why I could encrypt in Java and decrypt in .NET but not the opposite.
Thanks again for your help!!
As you requested are hare some code snippets. RSA keys are from x509 certs.
Java RSA/AES:
// symmetric algorithm for data encryption

// Padding for symmetric algorithm

// provider for the crypto
final String CRYPTO_PROVIDER = "Entrust";
// RSA algorithm used to encrypt symmetric key
final String RSA_ALGORITHM = "RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding";
// symmetric key size (128, 192, 256) if using 192+ you must have the Java
