Aes Decryption in .net 5

I have below code written in .net framework to decrypt encrypted text and it is working fine.
private static string MD5(string testString)
{
byte[] asciiBytes = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(testString);
byte[] hashedBytes = MD5CryptoServiceProvider.Create().ComputeHash(asciiBytes);
string hashedString = BitConverter.ToString(hashedBytes).Replace("-", "").ToLower();
return hashedString;
}
public static string DecryptString(string cypherText, string encryptionKey)
{
byte[] cipherTextBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText);
byte[] key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(MD5(encryptionKey));
if (key == null || key.Length <= 0)
throw new ArgumentNullException("key");
string plaintext;
using (var rijAlg = new RijndaelManaged())
{
rijAlg.BlockSize = 256;
rijAlg.Key = key;
rijAlg.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
rijAlg.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
rijAlg.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(MD5(MD5(_encryptionKey)));
ICryptoTransform decryptor = rijAlg.CreateDecryptor(rijAlg.Key, rijAlg.IV);
using (var msDecrypt = new MemoryStream(cipherTextBytes))
using (var csDecrypt = new CryptoStream(msDecrypt, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
using (var srDecrypt = new StreamReader(csDecrypt))
plaintext = srDecrypt.ReadToEnd();
}
return plaintext;
}
Above code never worked and was returning some junk characters when the code was migrated to .net 5. With some research and help from fellow community member I got the below updated code that works.
public static string DecryptUsingBouncyCastle(string cypherText, string keyString)
{
byte[] key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(MD5(keyString));
byte[] cipherTextBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cypherText);
if (key == null || key.Length <= 0)
throw new ArgumentNullException("key");
var ivStringBytes = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(MD5(MD5(keyString)));
var engine = new RijndaelEngine(256);
var blockCipher = new CbcBlockCipher(engine);
var cipher = new PaddedBufferedBlockCipher(blockCipher, new ZeroBytePadding());
var keyParam = new KeyParameter(key);
var keyParamWithIV = new ParametersWithIV(keyParam, ivStringBytes, 0, ivStringBytes.Length);
cipher.Init(false, keyParamWithIV);
var outputBytes = new byte[cipher.GetOutputSize(cipherTextBytes.Length)];
var length = cipher.ProcessBytes(cipherTextBytes, outputBytes, 0);
length += cipher.DoFinal(outputBytes, length);
var resultText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(outputBytes, 0, length);
return resultText;
}
I was cautioned that AES should be preferred over Rijndael with 256 bits block size. With that in mind I tried to write the decrypt method using AES but I could not succeed. It is not throwing any error but returning some garbage text.
public static string DecryptStringFromAES(string cypherText, string keyString)
{
byte[] key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(MD5(keyString));
byte[] cipherText = Convert.FromBase64String(cypherText);
if (key == null || key.Length <= 0)
throw new ArgumentNullException("key");
string plaintext;
using (var aes = Aes.Create())
{
aes.BlockSize = 128;
aes.Key = key;
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
aes.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
aes.IV = new byte[16];
ICryptoTransform decryptor = aes.CreateDecryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV);
using (var msDecrypt = new MemoryStream(cipherText))
using (var csDecrypt = new CryptoStream(msDecrypt, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
using (var srDecrypt = new StreamReader(csDecrypt))
plaintext = srDecrypt.ReadToEnd();
}
return plaintext;
}
I am not an expert in Cryptography and I don't really know what is wrong in the above code. My job demanded this task to decrypt some encrypted information from Active Directory. Encryption is done by some other process and I can't share the encryption key and don't have test code as we don't have a test environment.
Appreciate if someone could look at the code and see if I messed up anything with that code and suggest any correction that could possibly fix the issue. Thanks in advance.

how to perform AES encryption c# [duplicate]

Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.
Does anyone have some sample code?

If you just want to use the built-in crypto provider RijndaelManaged, check out the following help article (it also has a simple code sample):

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;
namespace Your.Namespace.Security {
public static class Cryptography {
#region Settings
private static int _iterations = 2;
private static int _keySize = 256;
private static string _hash = "SHA1";
private static string _salt = "aselrias38490a32"; // Random
private static string _vector = "8947az34awl34kjq"; // Random
#endregion
public static string Encrypt(string value, string password) {
return Encrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Encrypt<T>(string value, string password)
where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = GetBytes<UTF8Encoding>(value);
byte[] encrypted;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes =
new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream to = new MemoryStream()) {
using (CryptoStream writer = new CryptoStream(to, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
writer.Write(valueBytes, 0, valueBytes.Length);
writer.FlushFinalBlock();
encrypted = to.ToArray();
}
}
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted);
}
public static string Decrypt(string value, string password) {
return Decrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string value, string password) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(value);
byte[] decrypted;
int decryptedByteCount = 0;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes = new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
try {
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = cipher.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream from = new MemoryStream(valueBytes)) {
using (CryptoStream reader = new CryptoStream(from, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {
decrypted = new byte[valueBytes.Length];
decryptedByteCount = reader.Read(decrypted, 0, decrypted.Length);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return String.Empty;
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypted, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
}
}
The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.symmetricalgorithm.aspx
As of the time of this post, the current list includes:
AesManaged
RijndaelManaged
DESCryptoServiceProvider
RC2CryptoServiceProvider
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Look at sample in here..

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.

For a more complete example that performs key derivation in addition to the AES encryption, see the answer and links posted in Getting AES encryption to work across Javascript and C#.
EDIT
a side note: Javascript Cryptography considered harmful. Worth the read.

//Key: Gets or sets the symmetric key that is used for encryption and decryption.
dataencrypt.Key = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);

clsCrypto aes = new clsCrypto();
aes.IV = "this is your IV"; // your IV
aes.KEY = "this is your KEY"; // your KEY
strEncryptedData = aes.Encrypt(strOriginalData, CipherMode.CBC); // your cipher mode
MessageBox.Show("ENCRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strEncryptedData);

MVC5 Entity pk string, index and create OK but error 404 in edit, delete and details

I have a string pk in oracle in a table named REGISTROS. I have an ASP.NET MVC project and use Entity Framework.
I build a RegistrosController with scaffold. I can list and create but I can't edit, details or delete. Would you help me please? The variable which is id-registros:
The action method which received the variable:
The route config file:

It's simple.
Because your link url looks like /Registros/Edit/3-14/12/19
MVC URL uses / as route (area , controller , action).
If ID_REGISTRO is string type number
why not use - split string?
Maybe it is too late to consider encoding rules of your pk.
My suggestion is AES Encrypt/Decrypt your pk string.
#Html.ActionLink("Editor" , "Edit" , new { id = EncryptHelper.EncryptString( "3-14/12/19") })

I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.
using System;

using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;
namespace Your.Namespace.Security {
public static class Cryptography {
#region Settings
private static int _iterations = 2;
private static int _keySize = 256;
private static string _hash = "SHA1";
private static string _salt = "aselrias38490a32"; // Random
private static string _vector = "8947az34awl34kjq"; // Random
#endregion
public static string Encrypt(string value, string password) {
return Encrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Encrypt<T>(string value, string password)
where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = GetBytes<UTF8Encoding>(value);
byte[] encrypted;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes =
new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream to = new MemoryStream()) {
using (CryptoStream writer = new CryptoStream(to, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
writer.Write(valueBytes, 0, valueBytes.Length);
writer.FlushFinalBlock();
encrypted = to.ToArray();
}
}
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted);
}
public static string Decrypt(string value, string password) {
return Decrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string value, string password) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(value);
byte[] decrypted;
int decryptedByteCount = 0;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes = new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
try {
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = cipher.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream from = new MemoryStream(valueBytes)) {
using (CryptoStream reader = new CryptoStream(from, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {
decrypted = new byte[valueBytes.Length];
decryptedByteCount = reader.Read(decrypted, 0, decrypted.Length);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return String.Empty;
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypted, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
}
}
The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.symmetricalgorithm.aspx
As of the time of this post, the current list includes:
AesManaged
RijndaelManaged
DESCryptoServiceProvider
RC2CryptoServiceProvider
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.

For a more complete example that performs key derivation in addition to the AES encryption, see the answer and links posted in Getting AES encryption to work across Javascript and C#.

Using AES encryption in C#

Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.
Does anyone have some sample code?

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.

public static string Encrypt(string value, string password) {
return Encrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}

where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);

using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream to = new MemoryStream()) {
using (CryptoStream writer = new CryptoStream(to, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
writer.Write(valueBytes, 0, valueBytes.Length);
writer.FlushFinalBlock();

}
}
}

}
return Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted);
}
public static string Decrypt(string value, string password) {
return Decrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string value, string password) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);

byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
try {
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = cipher.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream from = new MemoryStream(valueBytes)) {
using (CryptoStream reader = new CryptoStream(from, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {

decryptedByteCount = reader.Read(decrypted, 0, decrypted.Length);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return String.Empty;
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypted, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
}
}
The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.symmetricalgorithm.aspx
As of the time of this post, the current list includes:
AesManaged
RijndaelManaged
DESCryptoServiceProvider
RC2CryptoServiceProvider
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.

Try this code, maybe useful.
1.Create New C# Project and add follows code to Form1:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
namespace ExampleCrypto
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strOriginalData = string.Empty;
string strEncryptedData = string.Empty;
string strDecryptedData = string.Empty;
strOriginalData = "this is original data 1234567890"; // your original data in here
MessageBox.Show("ORIGINAL DATA:\r\n" + strOriginalData);
clsCrypto aes = new clsCrypto();
aes.IV = "this is your IV"; // your IV
aes.KEY = "this is your KEY"; // your KEY
strEncryptedData = aes.Encrypt(strOriginalData, CipherMode.CBC); // your cipher mode
MessageBox.Show("ENCRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strEncryptedData);
strDecryptedData = aes.Decrypt(strEncryptedData, CipherMode.CBC);
MessageBox.Show("DECRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strDecryptedData);
