Convert simple encryption method in c# to php

We have the following simple encryption method in c#, we want write the same method in php7+
method in C#
using System.Security.Cryptography;
public string Encrypt(string strText, string encKey)
{
byte[] newEncKey = new byte[encKey.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < encKey.Length; i++)
newEncKey[i] = (byte)encKey[i];
try
{
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider provider = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strText);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream stream2 = new CryptoStream(stream, provider.CreateEncryptor(newEncKey, newEncKey), CryptoStreamMode.Write);
stream2.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
stream2.FlushFinalBlock();
return Convert.ToBase64String(stream.ToArray());
}
catch (Exception)
{
return string.Empty;
}
}
We want get the same encryption text with the same key in c# and php7+,
We tried to use the following code in php
public function encryptData($key, $plainText)
{
$byte = mb_convert_encoding($key, 'ASCII');
$desKey = md5(utf8_encode($byte), true);
$desKey .= substr($desKey,0,8);
$data = mb_convert_encoding($plainText, 'ASCII');
// add PKCS#7 padding
$blocksize = mcrypt_get_block_size('tripledes', 'ecb');
$paddingSize = $blocksize - (strlen($data) % $blocksize);
$data .= str_repeat(chr($paddingSize), $paddingSize);
// encrypt password
$encData = mcrypt_encrypt('tripledes', $desKey, $data, 'ecb');
return base64_encode($encData);
}
, but encryption text using this method not match the encryption text in C# method.
Example :
C#:
String key = "234576385746hfgr";
String text = "hello";
Console.WriteLine(Encrypt(text, key));
// output: Hg1qjUsdwNM=
PHP:
$key = "234576385746hfgr";
$text = "hello";
echo encryptData($key, $text);
// output: SRdeQHyKJF8=
How to get the same encryption text in php7+, we want convert C# code to PHP!

In the C# code, the mode is not explicitly specified, so that the CBC mode is used by default. In the PHP code, however, the ECB mode is applied, which must be changed into the CBC mode.
In the C# code newEncKey is used as key, which is 16 bytes in size and is implicitly extended to 24 bytes (3 times the TripleDES block size of 8 bytes) by appending the first 8 bytes at the end (this corresponds to 2TDEA). This must be done explicitly in the PHP code. Also remove the MD5 digest, as it's not used in C# code:
$byte = mb_convert_encoding($key, 'ASCII');
//$desKey = md5(utf8_encode($byte), true);
$desKey = $byte . substr($byte, 0, 8);
In the C# code newEncKey is also used as IV, of which implicitly only the first 8 bytes are applied (1 times the TripleDES block size). In the PHP code the shortening of the IV must be done explicitely, e.g. with
$desIV = substr($byte, 0, 8);
The IV must be passed as 5th parameter in mcrypt_encrypt:
$encData = mcrypt_encrypt('tripledes', $desKey, $data, 'cbc', $desIV);
The C# code uses PKCS7 padding by default, so this is consistent with the padding of the PHP code.
With these changes, the PHP code produces the same result as the C# code.
For security reasons, key/IV pairs may not be used more than once. The logic used here (generation of the IV from the key) therefore requires a new key for each encryption. Furthermore mcrypt_encrypt is deprecated, a better alternative is openssl_encrypt, which also uses PKCS7 padding by default.

How decrypt string in c# was encrypted in iOS using Rijndael

I'm trying to encrypt and decrypt the string using objective c and C#. both are working fine in native code, but when I was try to decrypt string in c# was encrypted in iOS. I get some error.
This was the code I used in the objective c
- (NSData *)AES256EncryptWithKey:(NSString *)key Data: (NSData *) data
{
char keyPtr[kCCKeySizeAES256+1]; // room for terminator (unused)
bzero(keyPtr, sizeof(keyPtr)); // fill with zeroes (for padding)
[key getCString:keyPtr maxLength:sizeof(keyPtr) encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSUInteger dataLength = [data length];
NSData *iv = [#"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
size_t bufferSize = dataLength + kCCBlockSizeAES128;
void *buffer = malloc(bufferSize);
size_t numBytesEncrypted = 0;
CCCryptorStatus cryptStatus = CCCrypt(kCCEncrypt, kCCAlgorithmAES128, kCCOptionPKCS7Padding,
keyPtr, kCCKeySizeAES256,
[iv bytes] /* initialization vector (optional) */,
[data bytes], dataLength, /* input */
buffer, bufferSize, /* output */
&numBytesEncrypted);
if (cryptStatus == kCCSuccess)
{
return [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:buffer length:numBytesEncrypted];
}
free(buffer); //free the buffer;
return nil;
}
In want to know how to decrypt in C#, I give blocksize is 256, ivsize to 32 and used "RijndaelManaged()". I'm not using salt & password.
Error: something like "Padding is invalid and cannot be removed."
I tried to set padding too like PKCS7, none, zero but nothing help to decrypt.
can any one help this?
Edit:
My C# code here
public string DecryptString(string encrypted)
{
string result = null;
_encoder = new UTF8Encoding();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(encrypted) && (encrypted.Length >= 32))
{
var messageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(encrypted);
using (var rm = new RijndaelManaged())
{
rm.BlockSize = _blockSize;
rm.Key = _encoder.GetBytes("mykey_here");
rm.IV = _encoder.GetBytes("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456"); ;
rm.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
var decryptor = rm.CreateDecryptor(rm.Key, messageBytes.Take(_ivSize).ToArray());
result = _encoder.GetString(Transform(messageBytes.Skip(_ivSize).ToArray(), decryptor));
}
}
return result;
}
protected byte[] Transform(byte[] buffer, ICryptoTransform transform)
{
byte[] result;
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
using (var cs = new CryptoStream(stream, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
cs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
cs.FlushFinalBlock();
result = stream.ToArray();
}
return result;
}

iOS (Common Crypto) explicitly specifies all encryption parameters, the C# code implicitly determines many parameters. These implicit parameters while simplifying usage are problematic when trying to achieve interoperability.
The C# class RijndaelManaged allows explicitly specifying parameter, change your code to use these, in particular BlockSize (128), KeySize (128), Mode (CipherMode.CBC) and Padding (PaddingMode.PKCS7). The defaults for mode and Padding are OK. See RijndaelManaged Documentation
AES and Rijndael are not the same, in particular AES uses only a block size of 128 bits (16 bytes) and Rijndael allows several block sizes. So one needs to specify a block size of 128 bits for Rijndael. Thus the iv is also 128 bits (16 bytes).
Both support encryption keys of 128, 192 and 256 bytes.
You would probably be better off using the AESManaged class than the RijndaelManaged class. See AesManaged Documentation
The C# side expects the data to be Base64 encoded, the iOS side does not show that encoding operation, make sure that is being done on the iOS side.
Since you are using an iv make sure you are using CBC mode on both sides. In Common Crypto CBC mode is the default, make sure CBC mode is being used on the C# side.
Make sure the C# side is using PKCS#7 or PKCS#5 padding, they are equivalent. It appears that PKCS#7 is the default on the C# side so this should be OK.
It is best to use a key of exactly the size specified and not rely on default padding. In Common Crypto the key size is explicitly specified and null padded if the supplied key is to short. The C# looks like it is determining the key size by the supplied key, in this case the key is 10 bytes so the decryption key probably defaults to 128 bits and the key is being internally padded with nulls. On iOS you are explicitly specifying a key size of 256 bits. This is a mis-match that needs to be fixed. Supply a key that is the exact size specified on the iOS side.
Finally there is the iv, the C# code expects the iv to be prepended to the encrypted data but the iOS code is not providing that. The solution is to change the iOS code to prepend the iv to the encrypted code. Change the iv to be 16 bytes, the AES block size.
Finally provide hex dumps of the test data in, data out, iv and key just prior to and after the encryption call if you need more help.

AES _Encryption in Mysql , Decryption in C#.Net

Mysql :
SELECT AES_ENCRYPT('Test','pass')
AES_ENCRYPT() and AES_DECRYPT() enable encryption and decryption of data using the official AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm, previously known as “Rijndael.” Encoding with a 128-bit key length is used, but you can extend it up to 256 bits by modifying the source. We chose 128 bits because it is much faster and it is secure enough for most purposes.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/encryption-functions.html#function_aes-encrypt
I was trying to convert that Encrypted string into Decryped Strig in C#.net but i don't get the results as i expect.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rijndael.aspx#Y0
C#
static string DecryptStringFromBytes(byte[] cipherText, byte[] Key, byte[] IV)
In this method I pass ciphertext,Key value which i usedfrom Mysql and
Rijndael.Create().IV for byte[] IV
I use the code but i don't get expected result.
Review the code and comment Idk where made a mistake

What you are doing is following a road of pain. Either decrypt/encrypt on MySQL and use an encrypted connection to the database (if that matters) or encrypt/decrypt on your .NET application, storing the encrypted data in a suitable column.
Mixing AES implementations is prone to mistakes and things can break more easily if you change versions of .NET or MySQL.
Now, to know what exactly is wrong we need to know if the IV is compatible between MySQL and .NET, or else find out what is MySQL's implementation IV and supply that.
And the other potential source of problems is how you have generated the byte arrays (we are not seeing that in your example). You have to consider character encoding issues in generating the arrays if the key is textual.
In the comments of this MySQL docs link there is information about the missing parameters.

After a long hours, I found a solution to this issue.
Couple of FYI's:
MySQL as a default for AES_Encrypt uses 128 bit, with ECB mode, which does not require an IV.
What padding mode they use is not specified, but they do say they pad it. For padding I use PaddingMode.Zeros.
In C#, use AesManaged, not RijndaelManaged since that is not recommended anymore.
If your Key is longer than 128 bits (16 bytes), then use a function below to create the correct key size, since the default MySQL AES algorithm uses 128 bit keys.
Make sure you play around with the correct Encoding and know exactly what type of character encoding you will receive back when translating the bytes to characters.

Code:

}
string decryptedText = null;
// Create an AES object with the specified key and IV.
using (AesManaged aesFactory = new AesManaged())
{
aesFactory.KeySize = 128;
aesFactory.Key = AESCreateKey(key, aesFactory.KeySize / 8);
aesFactory.IV = new byte[16];

return decryptedText.Trim();

public static byte[] AESCreateKey(byte[] key, int keyLength)
{
// Create the real key with the given key length.
byte[] realkey = new byte[keyLength];
// XOR each byte of the Key given with the real key until there's nothing left.
// This allows for keys longer than our Key Length and pads short keys to the required length.
for (int i = 0; i < key.Length; i++)
{
realkey[i % keyLength] ^= key[i];
}
return realkey;
}

Here is some working code for achieving the same encryption via C# as MySQL:
public byte[] AESEncrypt(byte[] plaintext, byte[] key) {
/*
* Block Length: 128bit
* Block Mode: ECB
* Data Padding: Padded by bytes which Asc() equal for number of padded bytes (done automagically)
* Key Padding: 0x00 padded to multiple of 16 bytes
* IV: None
*/
RijndaelManaged aes = new RijndaelManaged();
aes.BlockSize = 128;
aes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
aes.Key = key;
ICryptoTransform encryptor = aes.CreateEncryptor();
MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream cryptStream = new CryptoStream(mem, encryptor,
CryptoStreamMode.Write);
cryptStream.Write(plaintext, 0, plaintext.Length);
cryptStream.FlushFinalBlock();
byte[] cypher = mem.ToArray();
cryptStream.Close();
cryptStream = null;
encryptor.Dispose();
aes = null;
return cypher;
}
For details see MySQL Bug # 16713
EDIT:
Since the above is relying on officially non-documented information (though it is working) I would recommend to avoid it and use one of the options described in the answer from Vinko Vrsalovic .

If you run SELECT AES_ENCRYPT('Test','pass')
your are sending the pass over the network unencrypted so any one can unencrypted the data.
The AES_ENCRYPT is used to store data so if the database gets hacked your data is safe, not to transmit data.
if you want data encryption over the net work connect to your mysql server using the ssl socket

C# AES-256 Encryption

I am using RijndaelManaged to make a simple encryption/decryption utility. This is working fine, but I am trying to get it integrated with another program which is created in Unix (Oracle). My problem is, for all smaller input string, i am getting the exact same encrypted hex as the Unix code is generation, but for longer strings, half of my encrypted hex is same, but the other half is different:
Unix Output:
012345678901234 - 00984BBED076541E051A239C02D97117
0123456789012345678 - A0ACE158AD8CF70CEAE8F76AA27F62A30EA409ECE2F7FF84F1A9AF50817FC0C4
Windows Output (my code):
012345678901234 - 00984BBED076541E051A239C02D97117 (same as above)
0123456789012345678 - A0ACE158AD8CF70CEAE8F76AA27F62A3D9A1B396A614DA2C1281AA1F48BC3EBB (half exactly same as above)
My Windows code is:
public string Encrypt(byte[] PlainTextBytes, byte[] KeyBytes, string InitialVector)
{
byte[] InitialVectorBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(InitialVector);
RijndaelManaged SymmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged();
SymmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
SymmetricKey.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
ICryptoTransform Encryptor = SymmetricKey.CreateEncryptor(KeyBytes, InitialVectorBytes);
MemoryStream MemStream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream CryptoStream = new CryptoStream(MemStream, Encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
CryptoStream.Write(PlainTextBytes, 0, PlainTextBytes.Length);
CryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
byte[] CipherTextBytes = MemStream.ToArray();
MemStream.Close();
CryptoStream.Close();
return ByteToHexConversion(CipherTextBytes);
}
Unix (PL/SQL) code:
FUNCTION Encrypt_Card (plain_card_id VARCHAR2)
RETURN RAW AS
num_key_bytes NUMBER := 256/8; -- key length 256 bits (32 bytes)
encrypted_raw RAW (2000); -- stores encrypted binary text
encryption_type PLS_INTEGER := -- total encryption type
DBMS_CRYPTO.ENCRYPT_AES256
+ DBMS_CRYPTO.CHAIN_CBC
+ DBMS_CRYPTO.PAD_PKCS5;
key_bytes_raw RAW(64) :=my_hex_key;
BEGIN
encrypted_raw := DBMS_CRYPTO.ENCRYPT
(
src => UTL_I18N.STRING_TO_RAW (plain_card_id, 'AL32UTF8'),
typ => encryption_type,
key => key_bytes_raw
);
RETURN encrypted_raw;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line (plain_card_id || ' - ' || SUBSTR(SQLERRM,1,100) );
RETURN HEXTORAW ('EEEEEE');
The only difference i see is use of PKCS5 and PCKS7. But, .NET doesn't have PCKS5.

What abc said and also you don't seem to have any IV (Initialization Vector) in you PL/SQL code at all.
The fact that the first part are the same has to do with the different modes (ECB and CBC). ECB encrypts each block separately while CBC uses the previous block when encrypting the next one.
What happens here is that since you use CBC and do not set an IV the IV is all zeroes.
That means that the first block of ECB encryption and CBC encryption will be the same.
(Since A XOR 0 = A).
You need to make sure you use the same encryption mode in both systems and if you decide on CBC make sure you use the same IV.

You use ECB in one case and CBC in the other case.

Decrypting RijndaelManaged Encrypted strings with CryptDecrypt

Ok I'm trying to use the Win32 Crypto API in C++ to decrypt a string encrypted in C# (.NET 2) with the RijndaelManaged Class. But I'm having no luck at all i get jibberish or a bad data Win32 error code. All my keys, IV and salt match, I've looked in the watch for both test apps. I've spent all say looking at it and I'm officialy stuck.
Anyway here is the C#
Rfc2898DeriveBytes pdb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(GetPassPhrase(), salt, 1000);
RijndaelManaged rijndael = new RijndaelManaged();
rijndael.BlockSize = 128;
rijndael.KeySize = 256;
rijndael.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
rijndael.Key = pdb.GetBytes(m_KeySize);
rijndael.IV = GetIV(iv);
ICryptoTransform encryptor = rijndael.CreateEncryptor();
MemoryStream msEncrypt = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream csEncrypt = new CryptoStream(msEncrypt, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
Byte[] encryptedBytes = null;
Byte[] toBeEncrypted = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value);
csEncrypt.Write(toBeEncrypted, 0, toBeEncrypted.Length);
csEncrypt.FlushFinalBlock();
encryptedBytes = msEncrypt.ToArray();
The C++ to decrypt it is:
keyBlob.hdr.bType = PLAINTEXTKEYBLOB;
keyBlob.hdr.bVersion = CUR_BLOB_VERSION;
keyBlob.hdr.reserved = 0;
keyBlob.hdr.aiKeyAlg = CALG_AES_256;
keyBlob.cbKeySize = KEY_SIZE;
keyBlob.rgbKeyData = &byKey[0];
if ( CryptImportKey( hProv, (const LPBYTE) &keyBlob, sizeof(BLOBHEADER) + sizeof(DWORD) + KEY_SIZE, 0, CRYPT_EXPORTABLE, &hKey ) )
{
if ( CryptSetKeyParam( hKey, KP_IV, (const BYTE *) &byIV, 0))
{
DWORD dwLen = iDestLen;
if ( CryptDecrypt( hKey, 0, TRUE, 0, pbyData, &dwLen))
{
if ( dwLen < (DWORD) *plOutSize)
{
memcpy_s(pbyOutput, *plOutSize, pbyData, dwLen);
*plOutSize = dwLen;
bRet = TRUE;
}
}
else
{
// Log
DWORD dwErr = ::GetLastError();
int y =0;
}
}
}
I'm calling CryptAcquireContext successfully and my C++ is executing fine. Can anyone spot the error in my ways. It's starting to depress me know :(

Ok my fault, I didn't include the Struct def for the keyblob in the C++ and it turns out you need a contigous block of data for the key with the header but I was using the MSDN example that had a pointer to the key data. Which is wrong!

I see that you are using CBC chaining mode to encrypt the plain text.
Are you sure you are using the same chaining mode to decrypt the cypher text?
(I am sorry. I am not able to understand that from the code)

There are a handful of things you should check, since some of the code (declarations etc) are missing:
Block size - this usually should be the same as key size, I think it might even be the default since you dont specify it on C++ side. Set it to 256 on C# side, I guess it best that you explicitly specify it in C++ too.
Padding - the managed classes have PKCS7 as their default padding, I think its the default for cryptoAPI functions too, but I'm not sure.
I assume that GetPassPhrase, GetIV etc give you he same keys you're using on the C++ side?
It's not clear how the encrypted data is passed between the programs, is it possible there is some kind of translation error? E.g. base64, URL encode, etc.
