How to obtain different cipher text for same plain text using AES

Closed 6 years ago.
We need to encrypt a UUID string using AES-GCM-256 and consumer will decrypt it using the same AES-GCM-256.As per the recommendation (RFC) the IV(initialization vector) must be unique for each invocation,I am confused how IV values will be common or shared between encrypter and decrypter.

Is it possible to decrypt MD5 hashes?
(24 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
My problem is revert operation encode .
String computedLtpaTokenMd5 = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest(ltpaToken.getBytes())));
how to recover the token ltpaToken by computedLtPaTOkenMD5?
You cannot.
That is the whole point of a cryptographic hash function (which MD5 is, or rather was, you should not use it anymore): It is one-way.
All you can do is check if a given token matches that hashed value (by running the same hash function again and either getting the same output or not).
(You can reverse the Base64 encoding, but not the MD5 hashing)

in DIGITAL SIGNATURE in RSA approach most people and you tuber have told PRIVATE KEY is used for encryption and PUBLIC KEY for decryption . When I searched about working mechanism of RSA algorithm. I found that public key are used for encryption and private key are used for decryption. I am confused. so please someone help me?
PRIVATE KEY is used for encryption and PUBLIC KEY for decryption
It is exacly the other way around. Public key encrypts, private key decrypts.

Why is char[] preferred over String for passwords?
(17 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am writing a little web framework and I want to enable SSL encryption with a SSL key which will be supplied by the user.
This might seem overly cautious, but is it common to pass the password for the keystore file as a String passed in the parameters of a method?
This is what I had in mind:
public void enableSSL(String keystorePath, String keystorePassword) {
// ... do things
}
It is always safer to store the password into character array than a string.
Please refer below query:

I have requirement where i want to store Hash Set i have to byte[] in database. I have searched through internet haven't found a solution.
I have following hashset of custom class.
HashSet<MyClass> set = new HashSet<MyClass>();
Please help.
You can serialize it, if the stored data is serializable. Then convert to bytes.

How can i encrypt password to get the same output like wordpress to compare it later with my db ?
As mentioned here WordPress uses the PasswordHash class from the phpass for generating the password hashes. According to the links, the default implementation used involves the use of a salt, and 8 rounds of MD5 hashing. Exactly how and when the salt is applied, and what goes into the MD5 don't seem to be readily available. However, there seem to be a java port of phpass here.
As I stated in the comments, WordPress uses MD5 to encrypt its passwords. Here's a link to some code about password hashing in PHP, which I think might be what you're looking for:
