I need implement login to .NET Soap Web Service. This Web Service has method
AuthenticateUser(username, password)
and password should be encrypted with RSA public key. Below what I am trying to do:
public static final String PUBLIC = "q/9CujExqL6rsMMO22WWIotoXDCw5KEmGQJqL9UJEfoErwZ9ZCm3OwMTSlAMSfoXEMA04Y1rhfYC3MtU/7dYEoREfsvOPGDBWanTKyMzv2otCfiURyQoghEdkhv3ipQQaaErT7lfBKobJsdqJlvxo4PCOUas2Z6YpoMYgthzTiM=";
public static final String EXPONENT = "AQAB";
public static PublicKey getPublicKey() throws Exception{
byte[] modulusBytes = Base64.decode(PUBLIC, 0);
byte[] exponentBytes = Base64.decode(EXPONENT, 0);
BigInteger modulus = new BigInteger(1, (modulusBytes) );
BigInteger exponent = new BigInteger(1, (exponentBytes));
RSAPublicKeySpec spec = new RSAPublicKeySpec(modulus, exponent);
KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
return kf.generatePublic(spec);
}
public static byte[] encrypt(Key publicKey, String s) throws Exception{
byte[] byteData = s.getBytes("UTF-8");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, publicKey);
byte[] encryptedData = cipher.doFinal(byteData);
return encryptedData;
}
public static String arrayAsString (byte [] array){
String p = "";
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
p += unsignedToBytes(array[i]);
if (i < array.length - 1)
p+= ",";
}
return p;
}
public static int unsignedToBytes(byte b) {
return b & 0xFF;
}
public static void main(String[] args){
PublicKey publicKey = getPublicKey();
byte [] encrypted = encode(publicKey, "passwordHere");
String pass = arrayAsString(encrypted);
webservice.AuthenticateUser("testAdmin", pass);
}
I also have .NET code from Web Service side
private static string publicKey = "<RSAKeyValue><Modulus>q/9CujExqL6rsMMO22WWIotoXDCw5KEmGQJqL9UJEfoErwZ9ZCm3OwMTSlAMSfoXEMA04Y1rhfYC3MtU/7dYEoREfsvOPGDBWanTKyMzv2otCfiURyQoghEdkhv3ipQQaaErT7lfBKobJsdqJlvxo4PCOUas2Z6YpoMYgthzTiM=</Modulus><Exponent>AQAB</Exponent></RSAKeyValue>";
private static UnicodeEncoding _encoder = new UnicodeEncoding();
public static string Encrypt(string data)
{
var rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
rsa.FromXmlString(publicKey);
var dataToEncrypt = _encoder.GetBytes(data);
var encryptedByteArray = rsa.Encrypt(dataToEncrypt, false).ToArray();
var length = encryptedByteArray.Count();
var item = 0;
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var x in encryptedByteArray)
{
item++;
sb.Append(x);
if (item < length)
sb.Append(",");
}
return sb.ToString();
}
public static string Decrypt(string data)
{
var rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
var dataArray = data.Split(new char[] { ',' });
byte[] dataByte = new byte[dataArray.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < dataArray.Length; i++)
{
dataByte[i] = Convert.ToByte(dataArray[i]);
}
rsa.FromXmlString(privateKey);
var decryptedByte = rsa.Decrypt(dataByte, false);
return _encoder.GetString(decryptedByte);
}
Is somebody have any idea what I am doing wrong? Why Web Service always returns me AuthenticateUserResponse{AuthenticateUserResult=false; }
I think the problem here is may be to do with text encoding, rather than the encryption/decryption process itself. On the Java side, you're encrypting the UTF-8 encoded password, whereas on the .NET side, it's using UnicodeEncoding which is UTF-16. Try using UTF-16 on the Java side before encryption instead.

I'm currently trying to convert an existing code in Java into VB.NET that do an AES encryption of a string with a key in MD5 hash string.
Java code:
private static String a(byte[] paramArrayOfbyte) {
StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < paramArrayOfbyte.length; i++) {
String str2 = Integer.toHexString(paramArrayOfbyte[i] & 0xFF);
String str1 = str2;
if (str2.length() == 1) {
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append('0');
stringBuilder.append(str2);
str1 = stringBuilder.toString();
}
stringBuffer.append(str1);
}
return stringBuffer.toString();
}
public static String encrypt(String paramString) throws Exception {
byte[] arrayOfByte1 = paramString.getBytes("UTF-8");
SecretKeySpec secretKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest("digiposoutletapp".getBytes("UTF-8")), "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(1, secretKeySpec);
byte[] arrayOfByte2 = new byte[cipher.getOutputSize(arrayOfByte1.length)];
cipher.doFinal(arrayOfByte2, cipher.update(arrayOfByte1, 0, arrayOfByte1.length, arrayOfByte2, 0));
return a(arrayOfByte2);
}
I've used the same type of AES with the Java which is AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding, but the result of VB encryption is always different with Java.
What's wrong here?
I received an encrypted string from Java, and I can see the Java encrypted source code.
I wrote the decryption code in C#. But always report an error at "FlushFinalBlock". Error message: "System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException. Additional information: Incorrect data."
Can any body point out where the problem is in my C# code?
this is java code:
private static byte[] coderByDES(byte[] plainText, String key, int mode)
throws InvalidKeyException, InvalidKeySpecException,
NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException,
BadPaddingException, IllegalBlockSizeException,
UnsupportedEncodingException {
SecureRandom sr = new SecureRandom();
byte[] resultKey = makeKey(key);
DESKeySpec desSpec = new DESKeySpec(resultKey);
SecretKey secretKey = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("DES").generateSecret(desSpec);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES");
cipher.init(mode, secretKey, sr);
return cipher.doFinal(plainText);
}
private static byte[] makeKey(String key)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
byte[] keyByte = new byte[8];
byte[] keyResult = key.getBytes("UTF-8");
for (int i = 0; i < keyResult.length && i < keyByte.length; i++) {
keyByte[i] = keyResult[i];
}
return keyByte;
}
private static String byteArr2HexStr(byte[] arrB) {
int iLen = arrB.length;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(iLen * 2);
for (int i = 0; i < iLen; i++) {
int intTmp = arrB[i];
while (intTmp < 0) {
intTmp = intTmp + 256;
}
if (intTmp < 16) {
sb.append("0");
}
sb.append(Integer.toString(intTmp, 16));
}
return sb.toString();
}
this is C# code:
public static string DecryptForDES(string input, string key)
{
byte[] inputByteArray = HexStr2ByteArr(input);
byte[] buffArray = null;
using (DESCryptoServiceProvider des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider())
{
des.Key = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
des.IV = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
des.Mode = System.Security.Cryptography.CipherMode.ECB;
des.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, des.CreateDecryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
cs.Write(inputByteArray, 0, inputByteArray.Length);
cs.FlushFinalBlock();//
cs.Close();
}
buffArray = ms.ToArray();
ms.Close();
}
string str = string.Empty;
if (buffArray != null)
{
str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffArray);
}
return str;
}
public static byte[] HexStr2ByteArr(string strIn)
{
byte[] arrB = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strIn);
int iLen = arrB.Length;
byte[] arrOut = new byte[iLen / 2];
byte[] arrTmp = new byte[2];
for (int i = 0; i < iLen; i = i + 2)
{
string strTmp = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(arrB, i, 2);
arrOut[i / 2] = (byte)Convert.ToInt32(strTmp, 16);
}
return arrOut;
}
Both, the Java encryption part and the C# decryption part work on my machine if the passwords match. Otherwise a System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: 'Bad Data' is thrown. To get the password match replace in the C#-method DecryptForDES
des.Key = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
with
des.Key = MakeKey(key);
with the C#-method:
private static byte[] MakeKey(String key)
{
byte[] keyByte = new byte[8];
byte[] keyResult = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
for (int i = 0; i<keyResult.Length && i<keyByte.Length; i++) {
keyByte[i] = keyResult[i];
}
return keyByte;
}
corresponding to the Java-method makeKey(String key).
Moreover, remove in the C#-method DecryptForDES
des.IV = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
since the ECB-mode doesn't use an IV.
In the following testcase
coderByDES("This is a plain text that needs to be encrypted...", "This is the key used for encryption...", Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE);
returns the byte-array
a47b1b2c90fb3b7a0ab1f51f328ff55aae3c1eb7789c31c28346696a8b1f27c7413c14e68fe977d3235b5a6f63c07d7a95d912ff22f17ad6
and
DecryptForDES("a47b1b2c90fb3b7a0ab1f51f328ff55aae3c1eb7789c31c28346696a8b1f27c7413c14e68fe977d3235b5a6f63c07d7a95d912ff22f17ad6", "This is the key used for encryption...");
returns the correct plain text.
By the way: As Flydog57 already stated DES is insecure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard). And also the ECB mode is not secure (https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/20941/why-shouldnt-i-use-ecb-encryption).
Better choices are AES (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard) with CBC or GCM mode (https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/2310/what-is-the-difference-between-cbc-and-gcm-mode).
I am developing a REST API in which the data to be passed to the server need to be encrypted with 'AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding'. The REST API client side is using Java to encrypt and decrypt the data, while on my side I am using PHP.
The secret key used here is hash with sha1. I have the same secret key value with the client side and also the IV value is the same, but when I try to encrypt and compare it to the client, it's different.

I'm wondering what is wrong with my code. I have googled and check on this forum about the question dozens of times but I am unable to get the same result. I have rechecked my code with the answers posted by people on this forum and it's identical.
Recently i've post a question about this topic but the thing turns a little weird when i tried to decrypt an AES String that was encoded on UTF8
In the following lines i read the String AES encrypted wich returns the following String: RnLObq9hdUDGp9S2pxC1qjQXekuf9g6i/5bQfKilYn4=
public static final String AesKey256 ="ZzRtNDNuY3J5cHRrM3kuLi4=";
//This reads the String and stores on res.getContents()
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
IntentResult res= IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode,data);
if(res!=null){
if (res.getContents() == null) {
Toast.makeText(this,"Captura cancelada",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else{
try {
String cadena= decrypt(res.getContents());
out.setText(cadena);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
//provide the res.getContents() to decrypt method, wich its the String i've recently read
private String decrypt(String cadena)throws Exception{
SecretKeySpec keySpec= generateKey(AesKey256); //HERE
Cipher c= Cipher.getInstance(AES_MODE);
c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE,keySpec);
byte[] decodedValue= Base64.decode(cadena, Base64.DEFAULT);
byte[] decValue= c.doFinal(decodedValue);/* c.doFinal(decodedValue);*/
String decryptedValue= new String((decValue), "UTF-8");
return decryptedValue;
}
private SecretKeySpec generateKey(String password) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnsupportedEncodingException {

byte[] bytes= password.getBytes("UTF-8");
digest.update(bytes,0,bytes.length);
byte[] key= digest.digest();
SecretKeySpec secretKeySpec= new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
return secretKeySpec;
}
I am only using the decryption method but it still returning this characters:
i've spent hours looking for a solution, but nothing works for now... hope someone can give me a hand!
Best Regards!
EDIT
THIS IS HOW IT WAS ENCRYPTED IN C#
private const string AesIV256 = "IVFBWjJXU1gjRURDNFJGVg==";
private const string AesKey256 = "ZzRtNDNuY3J5cHRrM3kuLi4=";
public static string Encrypt(string text)
{
var sToEncrypt = text;
var rj = new RijndaelManaged()
{
Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros,
Mode = CipherMode.ECB,
KeySize = 256,
BlockSize = 256,
};
var key = Convert.FromBase64String(AesKey256);
var IV = Convert.FromBase64String(AesIV256);
var encryptor = rj.CreateEncryptor(key, IV);
var msEncrypt = new MemoryStream();
var csEncrypt = new CryptoStream(msEncrypt, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
var toEncrypt = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sToEncrypt);
csEncrypt.Write(toEncrypt, 0, toEncrypt.Length);
csEncrypt.FlushFinalBlock();
var encrypted = msEncrypt.ToArray();
return (Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted));
}
Made it!
After a long time of searching thanks to all you guys who answered this post i used the bouncy castle library and i've decrypt the desired String by doing the following:
public static String decrypt(String valueToDecrypt) throws Exception {
AESCrypt enc = new AESCrypt();
return new String(enc.decryptInternal(valueToDecrypt)).trim();
}
private byte[] decryptInternal(String code) throws Exception {
if (code == null || code.length() == 0) {
throw new Exception("Empty string");
}
byte[] decrypted = null;
try {
byte[] key= SecretKey.getBytes("UTF-8");
PaddedBufferedBlockCipher c = new PaddedBufferedBlockCipher(new RijndaelEngine(256), new ZeroBytePadding());
CipherParameters params= new KeyParameter(key);`
// false because its going to decrypt
c.init(false,params);
decrypted= GetData(c,(Base64.decode(code,Base64.DEFAULT));
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("[decrypt] " + e.getMessage());
}
return decrypted;
}
private static byte[] GetData(PaddedBufferedBlockCipher cipher, byte[] data) throws InvalidCipherTextException
{
int minSize = cipher.getOutputSize(data.length);
byte[] outBuf = new byte[minSize];
int length1 = cipher.processBytes(data, 0, data.length, outBuf, 0);
int length2 = cipher.doFinal(outBuf, length1);
int actualLength = length1 + length2;
byte[] cipherArray = new byte[actualLength];
for (int x = 0; x < actualLength; x++) {
cipherArray[x] = outBuf[x];
}
return cipherArray;
}
I even use the AES algorithm to encrypt and decrypt files, but according to my research, the performance of this algorithm is slower than the RC4 algorithm in Java.
I'm use this code for encrypt files in C#
public static class RC4
{
public static byte[] Encrypt(byte[] key, byte[] data)
{
return EncryptOutput(key, data).ToArray();
}
private static byte[] EncryptInitalize(byte[] key)
{
byte[] s = Enumerable.Range(0, 256)
.Select(i => (byte)i)
.ToArray();
for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
j = (j + key[i % key.Length] + s[i]) & 255;
Swap(s, i, j);
}
return s;
}
private static IEnumerable<byte> EncryptOutput(byte[] key, IEnumerable<byte> data)
{
byte[] s = EncryptInitalize(key);
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
return data.Select((b) =>
{
i = (i + 1) & 255;
j = (j + s[i]) & 255;
Swap(s, i, j);
return (byte)(b ^ s[(s[i] + s[j]) & 255]);
});
}
private static void Swap(byte[] s, int i, int j)
{
byte c = s[i];
s[i] = s[j];
s[j] = c;
}
}
I need to encrypt a file in C # and decrypt this file with java, but found no implementation for both languages.
This solution implemented by Michael Remijan showed better performance to decrypt files using AES. Encrypt and Decrypt files for I implemented just a string conversion to byte array.

Based on your comments, I am assuming you want to know how to speed up your encryption / decryption process, and changing the main algorithm is not mandatory.
You could look at different modes for AES. For example, AES in counter (CTR) mode is significantly faster than cipher block chaining (CBC) which is often used.
Try creating your cipher like
Cipher myCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding");
and you should see a performance increase. Additionally, using NoPadding will keep the size the same as the plaintext.
(Yes, I know that CTR mode turn AES into a stream cipher, never mind my comment)
UPDATE
I have used this in the past along these lines:
Key key = new SecretKeySpec(yourKeyValue, "AES");
Cipher enc = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding");
enc.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
// Get the IV that was generated
byte[] iv = enc.getIV();
// Encrypt your data
...
Cipher dec = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding");
dec.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, new IvParameterSpec(iv));
// Decrypt your data
...
