How to handle BadPaddingException During AES256 encryption in C# and decryption in Java

I don't know why an error is coming up.
Exception in thread "main" javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded. Such issues can arise if a bad key is used during decryption.
I understand that this error occurs when the incorrect key is used during the decryption. However, if you look at the test results result below, you can see that both C# and Java are the same (Key, IV, Salt is Base64 encoded).
C# Test Result
Java Test Result
It's the same!(Key, IV, Salt)
But the current BadpaddingException error is generated. What could be the problem?
I am attaching my source file.

Updated
c# .netframework 4.5 / Java8 modified what #Topaco said and confirmed that it worked well.
I want to say thank you very much to #Topaco and #Gusto2, and I'm going to make changes to the parts that have been modified in security, just as #Gusto2 said!

1) In the C# Encrypt-method the plain text is encrypted first and then Base64-encoded. Thus, in the decryption process the data must be Base64-decoded first and then decrypted. Currently this is handled in the wrong order i.e. the data are decrypted first and then decoded. Therefore, in the Java fileProcessing-method replace
while((read = input.read(buffer)) != -1){
output.write(c.update(buffer, 0, read));
}
with
while((read = input.read(buffer)) != -1) {
byte[] bufferEncoded = buffer;
if (read != buffer.length) {
bufferEncoded = Arrays.copyOf(buffer, read);
}
byte[] bufferDecoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(bufferEncoded);
output.write(c.update(bufferDecoded));
}
2) It's not necessary to pass buffer (or bufferDecoded) to the doFinal-method, since that was already done in the update-method. Thus,
byte[] deryptedBytes = c.doFinal(buffer);
must be replaced with
output.write(c.doFinal());
3) Since the Base64-decoding is already done in 1) in the try-block all lines following the doFinal-statement have to be removed. Overall, this results in
try {
input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(source));
output = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(dest));
byte[] buffer = new byte[input.available()];
int read = -1;
while((read = input.read(buffer)) != -1) {
byte[] bufferEncoded = buffer;
if (read != buffer.length) {
bufferEncoded = Arrays.copyOf(buffer, read);
}
byte[] bufferDecoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(bufferEncoded);
output.write(c.update(bufferDecoded));
}
output.write(c.doFinal());
}
4) The size of the buffer has to be a multiple of 4 in order to ensure a proper Base64-decoding. Thus, it's more reliable to replace
byte[] buffer = new byte[input.available()];
with
byte[] buffer = new byte[4 * (input.available() / 4)];
As long as the data are read in one chunk (which is not guaranteed, see e.g. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/io/InputStream.html#available()) there is no problem. However, if the data are read in several chunks it's important to read a multiple of 4 bytes, otherwise the Base64-decoding will fail. That can be easily proved by using a buffer size which isn't a multiple of 4. This point must also be considered if the buffer size is explicitly defined with regard to larger files.

while((read = input.read(buffer)) != -1){
output.write(c.update(buffer, 0, read));
}
byte[] deryptedBytes = c.doFinal(buffer)
you are decrypting the input to a file, then you are using the same cipher instance to decrypt the the last read chunk (again) into a separate array not to the file
quick fix:
while((read = input.read(buffer)) != -1){
output.write(c.update(buffer, 0, read));
}
output.write(c.doFinal()); // write the padded block
if you want to create and print a decrypted String, you need to create a new Cipher instance (or maybe it will be enough to reinitialize the instance, I am not sure) assuming the buffer contains the whole input
c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keySpec, ivSpec);
// assuming the buffer contains the whole input again
byte[] deryptedBytes = c.doFinal(buffer); // decrypting the whole file again
correct approach:
IV is used to securely reuse the same encryption key for multiple encryptions. So if your key is not random, you should generate new random IV for each encryption (and pass the IV along the ciphertext, most often prepended). Otherwise the encryption is not semantically secure and you may create opening for the two pad attack. So deriving IV from the key may not be very secure.
I advice to use any MAC (authentication code) passed along the ciphertext to ensure integrity (e.g. HMAC)
you are still reading all the file input fully into memory, what would not work for REALLY LARGE files. You may initialize the buffer to an arbitrary length (a few MB?) and process the input file as chunked

RSA Encrypting in c# and Decrypting data in java

I'm trying to encrypt data in my C# client with public RSA key from the Java server. To do this I generated KeyPair in Java
KeyPairGenerator.java
KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
kpg.initialize(2048);
KeyPair kp = kpg.generateKeyPair();
Key pub = kp.getPublic();
Key pvt = kp.getPrivate();
String outFile = "rsa_key";
FileOutputStream outPvt = new FileOutputStream(outFile + ".key");
outPvt.write(pvt.getEncoded());
outPvt.close();
FileOutputStream outPub = new FileOutputStream(outFile + ".pub");
outPub.write(pub.getEncoded());
outPub.close();
It gave me two files (rsa_key.key and rsa_key.pub) and then I encoded public key with Base64 so C# could read it:
PublicKeyBase64.java
String keyFile2 = "rsa_key.pub";
Path path2 = Paths.get(keyFile2);
byte[] bytes2 = Files.readAllBytes(path2);
X509EncodedKeySpec ks2 = new X509EncodedKeySpec(bytes2);
KeyFactory kf2 = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PublicKey pub = kf2.generatePublic(ks2);
Base64.Encoder encoder = Base64.getEncoder();
String outFile = "en_rsa_key";
Writer out = new FileWriter(outFile + ".pub");
out.write(encoder.encodeToString(pub.getEncoded()));
out.close();
Then I created my C# class to encrypt data
Encrypter.cs
class Encrypter
{
private const string PATH = "..\\..\\key\\en_rsa_key.pub";
private string PublicKey;
public Encrypter()
{
PublicKey = File.ReadAllText(PATH);
Console.WriteLine(PublicKey.Length);
}
public string encryptData(string dataToEncrypt)
{
Asn1Object obj = Asn1Object.FromByteArray(Convert.FromBase64String(PublicKey));
DerSequence publicKeySequence = (DerSequence)obj;
DerBitString encodedPublicKey = (DerBitString)publicKeySequence[1];
DerSequence publicKey = (DerSequence)Asn1Object.FromByteArray(encodedPublicKey.GetBytes());
DerInteger modulus = (DerInteger)publicKey[0];
DerInteger exponent = (DerInteger)publicKey[1];
RsaKeyParameters keyParameters = new RsaKeyParameters(false, modulus.PositiveValue, exponent.PositiveValue);
RSAParameters parameters = DotNetUtilities.ToRSAParameters(keyParameters);
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
rsa.ImportParameters(parameters);
//Console.WriteLine(dataToEncrypt);
byte[] encryptedData = rsa.Encrypt(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(dataToEncrypt), true);
//Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToBase64String(encryptedData));
return Convert.ToBase64String(encryptedData);
}
}
And at last my Decrypter class
public class Decrypter {
private static final String PATH = "I:\\rsa_key.key";
private File privateKeyFile = new File(PATH);
private RSAPrivateKey privateKey;
public Decrypter() throws Exception {
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(privateKeyFile));
byte[] privateKeyBytes = new byte[(int)privateKeyFile.length()];
dis.read(privateKeyBytes);
dis.close();
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec privSpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(privateKeyBytes);
privateKey = (RSAPrivateKey) keyFactory.generatePrivate(privSpec);
}
public String decrypt(String data) throws Exception{
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, privateKey);
return new String(cipher.doFinal(data.getBytes()));
}
}
I send encrypted data in C# via WebSocket and receive it without any problem because data while sending and receiving is the same. The problem is that data length is 344 characters (bytes) so when I decrypt my data it shows me and error: javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 245 bytes
I'm using 2048 bit key so it's 256B - 11B for padding that's why it's 245B. But the problem is that it always generates 344B and it doesn't depend on message to encode length. For example encoding "A" gives 344B and "Hello world" also 344B.
In this topic people say to use symmetric key, Encrypt the data with the symmetric key and then Encrypt the symmetric key with rsa. But it won't help because any encrypted string in my code has 344B size, so I won't be able to decrypt encrypted symmetric key.
What's wrong with my code?

You are using the public key wrong way. Do you really understad how the C# program works? what parameters is it using?
You are just using the public key bits as the AES key (even I don't realy understand how do you get 162 bytes from it).
This is example of "hybrid encryption" - the data themselves are encrypted by a random AES key (in this you claim it's 256 bit) and the AES key (in this case the IV too) is encrypted by the RSA public key. In Java there are many examples how to do that.
Even to decrypt the AES key you should know parameters used to encrypt it (RSA/ECB/PKCS5Padding, RSA-AOEP, ...), though it should be inside the XML.
Comming to the parameters - you are using PKCS5Padding, but check the .NET code, it's different

Thanks in advance.

I haven't digested all your code; I stopped when I saw you trying to decrypt with the public key, and encrypting with the private key. That's sort of like a digital signature, but your padding will be all wrong and you should use the Signature class if that is what your really want to do.
The public key is used to encrypt, or to verify a digital signature. Use the private key to decrypt, and see if that resolves your problem.
You are still doing it wrong. Don't call it "encryption" if the key isn't private.
But anyway, I think the printing to stdout looks wrong because you are converting the entire buffer to text. The last block is likely to be padded, so it won't decode to valid text—it's padding; it wasn't part of the input file, and you aren't writing it to the decrypted file, but you are printing it.
Change to encrypt with the public key, decrypt with the private key, and then change your printing to this:
System.out.print(new String(data, 0, theByte));
Even better would be to specify the character set of the data (probably UTF-8, since it's the default for XML).

I think u should do the opposite. encrypt with the public key and decrypt with the private key..

RSA keyblock wrapper: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Decryption error

In a larger application doing other things - I need to encrypt and decrypt a file. So I have been looking around and have implemented these two core functions that basically use RSA keys to wrap a random AES key that encrypts a file. The symmetric key and iv are written to the start of the file.
I'm getting an exception ("javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Decryption error") in the decrypt function portion of below. On the unpackKeyandIV line -- the doFinal. Specifically this line is the Exception point:
Object[] keyIv = unpackKeyAndIV(xCipher.doFinal(keyBlock));
I've checked and remade the RSA key pairs. I've also checked the save/load of the keyBlock.
My gut is the problem has something to do with how I write/read the keyBlock --- or encoding perhaps?
One goal is to keep the RSA/AES instance as generic as possible so as not to need Bouncy Castle or extra Java security unlimited strength extensions.
Any thoughts on where I might be going wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Per edits and comments. Error was a corrupted privKey being passed into the decrypt function. Above code works fine.

try adding the following under your constructor -
Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
