Password too short using AES/CFB/NoPadding, AES/OFB/NoPadding or AES/ CBC/NoPadding

Can someone help me reinforce or improve the following code to make the resulting passwords "longer".
I am humbly looking for the best way to use AES/CFB/NoPadding, or with AES/CBC/NoPadding, or with AES/OFB/NoPadding. We have tested with AES/GCM/NOPADDING. Which works with Java 8, but not with Java 7. And we need something that works in Java 7
For example, using 'safe' as <key_to_encrypt>, and 'Bk206V4ytQ1zZAukPE6/2c5KUcxGYpBf' as <encryption_key>, the pwd is: FX5O5A==
which is quite bite "small"
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
import org.apache.xml.security.utils.Base64;
public class StringEncrypt {
private final static String ALG = "AES";
private final static String CI = "AES/CFB/NoPadding";
public static String encrypt(String cleartext, String key) throws Exception {
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md.update(key.getBytes());
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(md.digest());
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(CI);
SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), ALG);
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, iv);
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(cleartext.getBytes());
return new String(Base64.encode(encrypted));
}
public static String decrypt(String encrypted, String key) throws Exception {
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md.update(key.getBytes());
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(md.digest());
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(CI);
SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), ALG);
byte[] enc = Base64.decode(encrypted);
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, iv);
byte[] decrypted = cipher.doFinal(enc);
return new String(decrypted);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
if (args.length == 2) {
String pwd = StringEncrypt.encrypt(args[0], args[1]);
System.out.println("Key encryption: " + pwd);
pwd = StringEncrypt.decrypt(pwd, args[1]);
if (args[0].equals(pwd)) {
System.out.println("[OK] Correct decryption!");
} else {
System.out.println("[KO] Wrong decryption!");
}
} else {
System.out.println("The parameters are required: <key_to_encrypt> <encryption_key>");
}
}
}
Stated differently, could someone give me an example of good encryption / decryption that works in Java 7?

If you want to increase the length, you need to increase the byte count of the encrypted / decrypted parameter.
You could hack this by changing the charset although I don't think is best practice:
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(cleartext.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_16));
return new String(decrypted, StandardCharsets.UTF_16);

AES-128 Encrypted String not properly padded

I'm having trouble creating an encrypted string using AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding with a 128-bit key. I have code to decrypt an encrypted string. I have an example encrypted string from another system that decrypts successfully, but when I try to create my own encrypted string it is not padded properly for some reason. When I decrypt my encrypted string it only shows the characters after the 16 byte.
All of the examples I find either assume the encryption happens first then decryption happens right after that with variables set during encryption or they are randomly generating a key, but in my case i want to use a known key.
I am really stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much for your time and efforts!
Example:
Original Text: 01234567891234565
Encrypted: zmb16qyYrdoW6akBdcJv7DXCzlw0qU7A2ea5q4YQWUo=
Key length: 16
Decrypted: 5 (this is the last digit in the Original Text String)

}
}

I've noticed that in the decrypt() function, you separated the encrypted array into two parts: first 16 bytes, and the rest. You used the first 16 bytes as the IV for decryption, however, you did not prepend the 16 byte IV to the beginning of the encrypted message in encrypt(). This results in the first 16 bytes of the plaintext to be lost. I presume you assumed that doFinal() automatically does that for you, but it doesn't.
To fix this, before returning the encrypted message, prepend the IV, which can be retrieved using cipher.getIV(). You can accomplish this using the ArrayUtils.addAll() from Apache Commons Lang library, or simply write your own function to do it. Another thing to note is that the IV will always be the block size, which is 16 bytes for AES, no matter the key size.
Hope this answer helps!

How to encrypt and decrypt String with my passphrase in Java (Pc not mobile platform)? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Java 256-bit AES Password-Based Encryption
(9 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I want to encrypt a string and then put it on a file. Also want to decrypt it when I want. I don’t need very strong security. I just want to make it harder to get my data others.
I tried several ways. Here are these.
Md5 Encryption:
How to hash a string in Android?
public static final String md5(final String toEncrypt) {
try {
final MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("md5");
digest.update(toEncrypt.getBytes());
final byte[] bytes = digest.digest();
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X", bytes[i]));
}
return sb.toString().toLowerCase();
} catch (Exception exc) {
return ""; // Impossibru!
}
}
I tried this function and able to encrypt a string but I can’t decrypt data from it. So it is not the solution.
DES Encryption:

Here passphrase is Auto generated. Is always passphrase will same on all time? Then where is my security. So it is not my solution too.
AES Encryption:
How do I encrypt/decrypt a string with another string as a password?
I also tried Aes from this link. Here key is also auto generated?
Is there any other way?

I just want to add that if you want to somehow store the encrypted byte array as String and then retrieve it and decrypt it (often for obfuscation of database values) you can use this approach:
import java.security.Key;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
public class StrongAES
{
public void run()
{
try
{
String text = "Hello World";
String key = "Bar12345Bar12345"; // 128 bit key
// Create key and cipher
Key aesKey = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
// encrypt the text
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, aesKey);
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(text.getBytes());
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (byte b: encrypted) {
sb.append((char)b);
}
// the encrypted String
String enc = sb.toString();
System.out.println("encrypted:" + enc);
// now convert the string to byte array
// for decryption
byte[] bb = new byte[enc.length()];
for (int i=0; i<enc.length(); i++) {
bb[i] = (byte) enc.charAt(i);
}
// decrypt the text
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, aesKey);
String decrypted = new String(cipher.doFinal(bb));
System.err.println("decrypted:" + decrypted);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
StrongAES app = new StrongAES();
app.run();
}
}

My requirement was to keep the password in a config file in encrypted form and decrypt when the program runs. For this I used the jasypt library (jasypt-1.9.3.jar). This is a very good library and we can accomplish the task with just 4 lines of code.
First, after adding jar to my project I imported the below library.
import org.jasypt.util.text.AES256TextEncryptor;
Then I created the below method. I then called this method by passing the text which I need to encrypt in password parameter. Using aesEncryptor.encrypt method, I encrypted the password which is stored to the myEncryptedPassword variable.
public void EncryptPassword(String password)
{
AES256TextEncryptor aesEncryptor = new AES256TextEncryptor();
aesEncryptor.setPassword("mypassword");
String myEncryptedPassword = aesEncryptor.encrypt(password);
System.out.println(myEncryptedPassword );
}
You might have noticed the method setPassword method and the value mypassword is used in the above code. This is to make sure that no one can decrypt the password even if they use the encrypted password using the same library.
Now I can see the value in the myEncryptedPassword variable something like h9oJ4P5P8ToRy38wvK11PUQCBrT1oH/zbMWuMrbOlI0rfZrj+qSg6f/u0jctOs/ZUf9t3shiwnEt05/nq8bnag==. This is the encrypted password. Keep this value in the config file.
I then created the below method to decrypt the password to be used in my program. The value of passwordFromConfigFile is the encrypted text which I got from the EncryptPassword method. Note that you have to use the same password in the aesEncryptor.setPassword method that you used to encrypt the password.
public String DecryptPassword(String passwordFromConfigFile)
{
AES256TextEncryptor aesEncryptor = new AES256TextEncryptor();
aesEncryptor.setPassword("mypassword");
String decryptedPassword = aesEncryptor.decrypt(passwordFromConfigFile);
return decryptedPassword;
}
The variable decryptedPassword will now have the decrypted password value.

The code marked as the solution did not work for me. This was my solution.

Encryption and Decryption in Java using AES

How to Encrypt and Decrypt in Java using AES
import java.security.InvalidKeyException;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException;
import javax.crypto.NoSuchPaddingException;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
public class Encryption {
public static void main(String args[]) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException{
String t = "Testing";
byte[] dataToSend = t.getBytes();
byte[] key = new byte[16];
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
SecretKeySpec k = new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
c.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, k);
byte[] encryptedData = c.doFinal(dataToSend);
System.out.println(encryptedData);
byte[] key2 = new byte[16];
byte[] encryptedData2 = encryptedData;
Cipher c2 = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
SecretKeySpec k2 =
new SecretKeySpec(key2, "AES");
c2.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, k2);
byte[] data = c.doFinal(encryptedData);
System.out.println(data);
}
}

Since the problem is not specified explicitly, I am pointing out the obvious errors with the presumption that 'Testing' encrypted should print 'Testing' once decrypted.
AES is a symmetric key algorithm, hence you have to use the same key for encrypting and decrypting (k2 should not be there at all)
c.doFinal of the encrypted data doesn't make much sense, this should be reference to your Cipher DECRYPT_MODE -> c2
Hence, change:
c2.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, k2);
To:
c2.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, k);
And change:
byte[] data = c.doFinal(encryptedData);
To:
byte[] data = c2.doFinal(encryptedData);
To print the final outcome:
Change:
System.out.println(data);
To:
System.out.println(new String(data));

Why is the ciphertext 32 bytes long when encrypting 16 bytes with AES?

I use encryption AES algorithm, when i encrypt 16 byte(one block) the result is 32 byte.
Is this ok?

If you look at the specification section 5 then you can see that the input, output and state are all 128 bit. The only thing that varies is the size of the key: 128, 196 or 256 bits. So encrypting a 16 byte input state will yield a 16 byte output state.
Are you sure you aren't mixing it up with the length in hexadecimal notation or similar? If it is in hexadecimal notation then it's correct because for each byte two characters are needed to represent it: 00-FF (for the range 0-255). So, for example, 16 bytes would be encoded as 32 characters in hexadecimal notation.
Another way you can test if the encryption is correct is by doing the equivalent decryption, see if it matches the plaintext input string.
Anyway, it does the correct thing. Here's a test:
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String plaintext = "Hello world", key = "test";
String ciphertext = encrypt(key, plaintext);
String plaintext2 = decrypt(key, ciphertext);
System.out.println("Encrypting '" + plaintext +
"' yields: (" + ciphertext.length() + ") " + ciphertext);
System.out.println("Decrypting it yields: " + plaintext2);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
Which yields:
Encrypting 'Hello world' yields: (32)
5B68978D821FCA6022D4B90081F76B4F
Decrypting it yields: Hello world

AES defaults to ECB mode encryption with PKCS#7 compatible padding mode (for all providers observed so far). ECB and CBC mode encryption require padding if the input is not precisely a multiple of the blocksize in size, with 16 being the block size of AES in bytes.
Unfortunately there might be no way for the unpadding mechanism to distinguish between padding and data; the data itself may represent valid padding. So for 16 bytes of input you will get another 16 bytes of padding. Padding modes that are deterministic such as PKCS#7 always pad with 1 up to [blocksize] bytes.
If you look at int output = cipher.getOutputSize(16); you will get back 32 bytes. Use "AES/ECB/NoPadding" during decipher to see the padding bytes (e.g. 4D61617274656E20426F64657765732110101010101010101010101010101010).
You are better off when you fully specify the algorithm. Previously most developers would go for "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding" but nowadays "AES/GCM/NoPadding" should probably be used because it offers message authentication and integrity. Otherwise you will keep guessing which mode is actually used.
Note that using ECB mode is not safe as an attacker can retrieve information from the cipher text; identical blocks of plain text encode to identical blocks of cipher text.
