Using decrypted DES key obtained from RSA decryption - java

I am working on a hybrid encryption mechanism in java that involves encrypting message using 3DES encryption algorithm and then encrypt its key using RSA encryption mechanism at the sender side. Once delivered to the receiver side, the encrypted 3DES key is decrypted using RSA decryption mechanism and then is used to decrypt the cipher text.
Once I obtain the decrypted 3DES key its string value is the same but byte [] is not the same instead returns a 2's complement of the original key.
How can I get the decrypted 3DES to be the same as the originally generated 3DES in byte [] form at the receiver side?
Below is the code I am using for my hybrid encryption mechanism:

There are multiple (many) issues with your code
The main issue (why you get incorrect decrypted text) is in the ciphertext encoding. The ciphertext you are decrypting with 3DES is different than the one you got from the encryption (your "hex encoding" is simply buggy). Just debug you program (and print the values after encryption and before decryption) and you should find it. I'd advice using something standard, such as working hexadecimal or base64 encoding.
Other issues:
you are using "textbook RSA" which is not really secure, so I hope you are doing that for learning / assignment purposes, not real life encryption application. As already commented, using RSA should be always with padding (e.g. RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding or OAEP)
Generating random keys - you should use SecureRandom instead of Random (which is not really random) or - much better - a KeyGenerator
DESede without providing any IV is using ECB mode, which has its weaknesses. So using symmetric encryption you should provide random IV and specify the encryption mode explicitly (e.g. DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding)
for each operation after doFinal() you should use a new Cipher instance with initialized decrpytion mode
I have a blog about encryption with a few examples, you may take inspiration from.

RSA decryption fine with encoded byte array but fails with encoded String [IllegalBlockSizeException] [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
RSA encyrption - converting between bytes array and String [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
we are trying RSA Encryption & Decryption and the issue happens while decrypting. This is our decryption code
Cipher oaepFromInit = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/OAEPPadding");
OAEPParameterSpec oaepParams = new OAEPParameterSpec("SHA-1", "MGF1", new MGF1ParameterSpec("SHA-1"), PSpecified.DEFAULT);
oaepFromInit.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, rsaPrivateKey, oaepParams);
byte[] dec = oaepFromInit.doFinal(encrytpedData.getBytes());
The encrytpedData is like this
s11Pyj5rrVOfOiWtxpGq+K5D+pYi16CyyX/EwKfMErBkHJ4aVlTmnhrfeCS7LEeXgTs3gkFp96I/oTedG/rXxF2hTAmMH40k0joKJbRtzO858/0dcaaE1uNzr/rI0Jj3ebXPLGhefCMNNpyFH5V4ukVo6vtev5Z9U8oNkUQolbX/r5jJJomkKCCnzGoHMdQg5dafj9Sw/qakO13501YBrkxS0i9ca0GZ8Ll42NwkOZuInh+MAu+gYW4vAr284eJsqgLgTp0+MS1tmfwR6EXgspk1nYR/U84P3MBZAdpmD3nxsVV3iVOCUeoqVyd4kw7M2pvXev6hMbMN4P1nnomo8g==
An error exception was thrown saying javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 256 bytes
We looked into this link getting a IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 256 bytes when using rsa, but the issue was with the way we were feeding the encrytpedData.
This is a code we got online
KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
kpg.initialize(2048);
KeyPair kp = kpg.generateKeyPair();
RSAPublicKey pubkey = (RSAPublicKey) kp.getPublic();
RSAPrivateKey privkey = (RSAPrivateKey) kp.getPrivate();
// --- encrypt given algorithm string
Cipher oaepFromAlgo = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-1AndMGF1Padding");
oaepFromAlgo.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, pubkey);
byte[] ct = oaepFromAlgo.doFinal("chakka".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
// --- decrypt given OAEPParameterSpec
Cipher oaepFromInit = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/OAEPPadding");
OAEPParameterSpec oaepParams = new OAEPParameterSpec("SHA-1", "MGF1", new MGF1ParameterSpec("SHA-1"), PSpecified.DEFAULT);
oaepFromInit.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, privkey, oaepParams);
byte[] pt = oaepFromInit.doFinal(ct);
System.out.println("Printing decoded string");
System.out.println(new String(pt, StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
Here they are supplying the encrypted array directly and works fine, but in our case we are getting encrytpedData as String. Both the codes are same but the supply of encrypted data differs.
byte[] dec = oaepFromInit.doFinal(encrytpedData.getBytes());
This is where we are getting the exception, so we tried converting the encrytpedData to byte[] in a different way via these two links
RSA encyrption - converting between bytes array and String [duplicate]
IllegalBlockSizeException when trying to encrypt and decrypt a string with AES
So we tried like this
byte[] dec = oaepFromInit.doFinal(Base64.getDecoder().decode(encrytpedData)); which resulted in this javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Message is larger than modulus.
byte[] dec = oaepFromInit.doFinal(encrytpedData.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); which gave the same old exception javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 256 bytes.
Any help would be appreciated
The below full example code is taken from my private cross-platform project and should work. It encrypts a string using RSA encryption with a 2048 key pair and uses OAEP padding with SHA-1 as hash.
The encrypted data are in base64 encoding. For demonstration purpose I'm using static (hardcoded) keys in PEM-format - never ever do this in production.
You can run the code online here: https://repl.it/#javacrypto/CpcJavaRsaEncryptionOaepSha1String

Java.security - how to store KeyPair keys in a String. I get Invalid DER encoding exceptions

Generating a Keypair, encoding and decoding with byte array works fine.
I would like to store both the private and public keys as Strings. This is for experimenting purposes. I would like to investigate how I can store a password that has to be decoded before used.
I used string.getBytes() and new String( bytes) to convert the byte array to a String and vv.
When I try to store & retrieve these byte arrays with Strings, use them encoding a secret text, then I get this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException:
java.security.InvalidKeyException: IOException: ObjectIdentifier() --
Invalid DER encoding, not ended
The solution, thanks to James K Polk, is in the answer.

How to generate a 128 bit key to use in AES algorithm

I am using the code in below mentioned post to encrypt and decrypt values between Java and Java script module of my application.
Compatible AES algorithm for Java and Javascript
In a above post they are using 128 bit key value. I want to use my own key instead of hard coding the 128 bit key value.
My question is that can I convert any random string into 128 bit key value.
Please post some examples if it is possible to convert any string into 128 bit value.
Characters are represented with 8 bits. hence to form 128 bit key, create a string having 16 chars (16*8=128), e.g. "abcdefgh12345678".
to mask this key as base64, you may use Apache commons-codec Base64.encodeBase64... #see http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base64.html
Something I fount by google, and use in my project:
private final static String algorithm = "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1";
private final static String HEX = "0123456789ABCDEF";
private static final String CP_ALGORITH = "AES";
private static final String CP_KEY = "PUTsomeKEYinHere";
public static String cipher(String cipherKey, String data) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
InvalidKeySpecException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException,
IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException {
SecretKeyFactory skf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(algorithm);
KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(cipherKey.toCharArray(), cipherKey.getBytes(), 128, 256);
SecretKey tmp = skf.generateSecret(spec);
SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(tmp.getEncoded(), CP_ALGORITH);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(CP_ALGORITH);
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
return toHex(cipher.doFinal(data.getBytes()));
}
public static String decipher(String cipherKey, String data) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
InvalidKeySpecException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException,
IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException {
SecretKeyFactory skf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(algorithm);
KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(cipherKey.toCharArray(), cipherKey.getBytes(), 128, 256);
SecretKey tmp = skf.generateSecret(spec);
SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(tmp.getEncoded(), CP_ALGORITH);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(CP_ALGORITH);
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
return new String(cipher.doFinal(toByte(data)));
}
private static byte[] toByte(String data) throws NullPointerException{
int len = data.length()/2;
byte[] result = new byte[len];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
result[i] = Integer.valueOf(data.substring(2*i, 2*i+2), 16).byteValue();
return result;
}
private static String toHex(byte[] doFinal) {
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(2*doFinal.length);
for (int i = 0; i < doFinal.length; i++) {
result.append(HEX.charAt((doFinal[i]>>4)&0x0f)).append(HEX.charAt(doFinal[i]&0x0f));
}
return result.toString();
}
usage:
cipher(CP_KEY, STRINGtoCIPHER);
decipher(CP_KEY, YOURcipheredSTRING)
I put that all in a shared class with static fields and methods, so i can use it everywhere in my app. I use it to store SessionID i shared preferences, and it works nice.

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:
Encrypt and decrypt a String in java
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.

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.
