Java AES GCM AEAD Tag mismatch

Im trying to write a program to encrypt any type of file. I had my encryption classes already done, when I noticed (at first it worked) that I am getting an AEADBadTagException whenever I try to decrypt any of my files.
Here is my encryption/decryption class:
class Encryptor {
private static final String algorithm = "AES/GCM/NoPadding";
private final int tagLengthBit = 128; // must be one of {128, 120, 112, 104, 96}
private final int ivLengthByte = 12;
private final int saltLengthByte = 64;
protected final Charset UTF_8 = StandardCharsets.UTF_8;
private CryptoUtils crypto = new CryptoUtils();
// return a base64 encoded AES encrypted text
/**
*
* #param pText to encrypt
* #param password password for encryption
* #return encoded pText
* #throws Exception
*/
protected byte[] encrypt(byte[] pText, char[] password) throws Exception {
// 64 bytes salt
byte[] salt = crypto.getRandomNonce(saltLengthByte);
// GCM recommended 12 bytes iv?
byte[] iv = crypto.getRandomNonce(ivLengthByte);
// secret key from password
SecretKey aesKeyFromPassword = crypto.getAESKeyFromPassword(password, salt);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(algorithm);
// ASE-GCM needs GCMParameterSpec
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, aesKeyFromPassword, new GCMParameterSpec(tagLengthBit, iv));
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(pText);
// prefix IV and Salt to cipher text
byte[] cipherTextWithIvSalt = ByteBuffer.allocate(iv.length + salt.length + cipherText.length).put(iv).put(salt)
.put(cipherText).array();
Main.clearArray(password, null);
Main.clearArray(null, salt);
Main.clearArray(null, iv);
Main.clearArray(null, cipherText);
aesKeyFromPassword = null;
cipher = null;
try {
return cipherTextWithIvSalt;
} finally {
Main.clearArray(null, cipherTextWithIvSalt);
}
}
// für Files
protected byte[] decrypt(byte[] encryptedText, char[] password)
throws InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, NoSuchAlgorithmException,
NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeySpecException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException {
// get back the iv and salt from the cipher text
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(encryptedText);
byte[] iv = new byte[ivLengthByte];
bb.get(iv);
byte[] salt = new byte[saltLengthByte];
bb.get(salt);
byte[] cipherText = new byte[bb.remaining()];
bb.get(cipherText);
// get back the aes key from the same password and salt
SecretKey aesKeyFromPassword;
aesKeyFromPassword = crypto.getAESKeyFromPassword(password, salt);
Cipher cipher;
cipher = Cipher.getInstance(algorithm);

try {

} finally {

}
}
protected void encryptFile(String file, char[] pw) throws Exception {
Path pathToFile = Paths.get(file);
byte[] fileCont = Files.readAllBytes(pathToFile);
byte[] encrypted = encrypt(fileCont, pw);
Files.write(pathToFile, encrypted);
Main.clearArray(pw, null);
Main.clearArray(null, fileCont);
Main.clearArray(null, encrypted);
}
protected void decryptFile(String file, char[] pw)
throws IOException, InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, NoSuchAlgorithmException,

byte[] decrypted = decrypt(fileCont, pw);
Files.write(pathToFile, decrypted);
Main.clearArray(pw, null);

}
}
The corresponding CryptoUtils class:
class CryptoUtils {
protected byte[] getRandomNonce(int numBytes) {
byte[] nonce = new byte[numBytes];
new SecureRandom().nextBytes(nonce);
try {
return nonce;
} finally {
Main.clearArray(null, nonce);
}
}
// Password derived AES 256 bits secret key
protected SecretKey getAESKeyFromPassword(char[] password, byte[] salt)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException {
SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512");
// iterationCount = 65536
// keyLength = 256
KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(password, salt, 65536, 256);
SecretKey secret = new SecretKeySpec(factory.generateSecret(spec).getEncoded(), "AES");
try {
return secret;
} finally {
secret = null;
}
}
// hex representation
protected String hex(byte[] bytes) {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (byte b : bytes) {
result.append(String.format("%02x", b));
}
try {
return result.toString();
} finally {
result.delete(0, result.length() - 1);
}
}
// print hex with block size split
protected String hexWithBlockSize(byte[] bytes, int blockSize) {
String hex = hex(bytes);
// one hex = 2 chars
blockSize = blockSize * 2;
// better idea how to print this?
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
int index = 0;
while (index < hex.length()) {
result.add(hex.substring(index, Math.min(index + blockSize, hex.length())));
index += blockSize;
}
try {
return result.toString();
} finally {
result.clear();
}
}
}
The Exception occurs at byte[] plainText = cipher.doFinal(cipherText); in the decrypt method.
Im unsure if the tagLenthBit must be the ivLengthByte * 8, I did try it though and it didnt make any difference.

I'm providing my own example code for AES 256 GCM file encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation because I'm too lazy to check all parts of your code :-)
The encryption is done with CipherInput-/Outputstreams because that avoids "out of memory errors" when encrypting larger files (your code is reading the complete plaintext / ciphertext in a byte array).
Please note that the code has no exception handling, no clearing of sensitive data/variables and the encryption/decryption result is a simple "file exist" routine but I'm sure you can use it as a good basis for your program.
That's a sample output:
AES 256 GCM-mode PBKDF2 with SHA512 key derivation file encryption
result encryption: true
result decryption: true

encrypt in Android and decrypt in CryptoJS

Hi I have java code which decrypt the ciphertext encrypted using CryptoJS library(AES).
Now i wanted to write the javacode which will encrypt the plaintext again.
Please find the below code.
try {
String secret = "René Über";
String cipherText="U2FsdGVkX1+tsmZvCEFa/iGeSA0K7gvgs9KXeZKwbCDNCs2zPo+BXjvKYLrJutMK+hxTwl/hyaQLOaD7LLIRo2I5fyeRMPnroo6k8N9uwKk=";
byte[] cipherData = Base64.decode(cipherText, Base64.DEFAULT);
byte[] saltData = Arrays.copyOfRange(cipherData, 8, 16);
MessageDigest md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
final byte[][] keyAndIV = GenerateKeyAndIV(32, 16, 1, saltData, secret.getBytes("utf-8"), md5);
SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(keyAndIV[0], "AES");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(keyAndIV[1]);
byte[] encrypted = Arrays.copyOfRange(cipherData, 16, cipherData.length);
Cipher aesCBC = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
aesCBC.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, iv);
byte[] decryptedData = aesCBC.doFinal(encrypted);
String decryptedText = new String(decryptedData,"utf-8");
System.out.println("Decrypted "+decryptedText);
//Here I get right plain text as
//System.out: Decrypted The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Cipher abc=Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
abc.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE,key,iv);
byte[] encryptedData=abc.doFinal(decryptedData);
String str=Base64.encodeToString(encryptedData,Base64.DEFAULT);
System.out.println("encrypted "+str);
//Here i want the encrypted text as
// encrypted U2FsdGVkX1+tsmZvCEFa/iGeSA0K7gvgs9KXeZKwbCDNCs2zPo+BXjvKYLrJutMK+hxTwl/hy//aQLOaD7LLIRo2I5fyeRMPnroo6k8N9uwKk=

}catch (Exception e)
{}
When I decrypt the code I get correct Plain Text but when I again encrypt the plain text I didnt get the encrypted text as previous.
Please Help.

Your ciphertext has "Salted__<8 byte salt>" at the beginning, which you skip when decrypting. You need to prefix the same in your encryption mode if you want to create OpenSSL compatible ciphertext.
Your encryption code ciphertext seems correct when you view it in a base64 to hex decoder, e.g. the one provided here. However, because each character only contains 64 bits and since the bytes have shifted 16 places (which is not divisible by 3), it just seams that your entire ciphertext is incorrect, while it is just missing 16 bytes at the front.

Here posting my working code for android I have used crypto for decryption on the server. Below code is using AES Algorithm
private static final String key = "aesExamplekey";
private static final String initVector = "exampleintvec";
public static String encrypt(String value) {
try {
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(initVector.getBytes("UTF-8"));
SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes("UTF-8"), "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5PADDING");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, iv);
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(value.getBytes());
// byte[] finalCiphertext = new byte[encrypted.length+2*16];
return Base64.encodeToString(encrypted, Base64.NO_WRAP);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}`

C# to Java TripleDES , different results

I'm attempting to convert this C# encryption algorithm to Java; however, I keep retrieving slightly different encrypted results (haven't tried decryption yet). It may also be important to point out that I'm not able to change the C# code.
However when I call the encrypt function in C# on the string "test" it will return nmj8MjjO52y928Syqf0J+g== However in Java it'll return C6xyQjJCqVo=
The C#
private static String key = "012345678901234567890123";
public static string encrypt(String stringToEncrypt)
{
TripleDES des = CreateDES(key);
ICryptoTransform ct = des.CreateEncryptor();
byte[] input = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(stringToEncrypt);
byte[] output = ct.TransformFinalBlock(input, 0, input.Length);
//return output;
return Convert.ToBase64String(output);
}
public static String decrypt(string encryptedString)
{
byte[] input = Convert.FromBase64String(encryptedString);
TripleDES des = CreateDES(key);
ICryptoTransform ct = des.CreateDecryptor();
byte[] output = ct.TransformFinalBlock(input, 0, input.Length);
return Encoding.Unicode.GetString(output);
}
public static TripleDES CreateDES(string key)

TripleDES des = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
des.Key = md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(key));
des.IV = new byte[des.BlockSize / 8];
return des;
}
My Attempt with converting to Java

Does anyone see what I'm overseeing?

You are missing two things. You are using a 16 length key on the c# side since it is not padded like the Java version. By default if the key is 16 bytes in length it will be padded with the first 8 bytes of the key.
To make this match on the Java side you will have to uncomment that line that adds the padding to the key:
for (int j = 0, k = 16; j < 8;) {
keyBytes[k++] = keyBytes[j++];
}
SecretKey secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, 0, 24, "DESede");
Also, on the java side there was a suggestion to make sure to use UTF-LE for the text. Make sure to use it for everything. So the lines:
byte[] digestOfPassword = md.digest(key.getBytes("UTF-16LE"));
byte[] plainTextBytes = clearText.getBytes("UTF-16LE");
In general I would make sure to set the c# params of all the tripledes object, and not depend on defaults.
Here are two versions that match in c# and java
Java
String key = "012345678901234567890123";
String clearText = "test";
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("md5");
byte[] digestOfPassword = md.digest(key.getBytes("UTF-16LE"));
byte[] keyBytes = Arrays.copyOf(digestOfPassword, 24);
String byteText = Arrays.toString(keyBytes);
for (int j = 0, k = 16; j < 8;) {
keyBytes[k++] = keyBytes[j++];
}
SecretKey secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, 0, 24, "DESede");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(new byte[8]);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKey, iv);
byte[] plainTextBytes = clearText.getBytes("UTF-16LE");
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainTextBytes);
String output = Base64.encode(cipherText);
c#
string clearText = "test";
string key = "012345678901234567890123";
string encryptedText = "";
MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
TripleDES des = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
des.KeySize = 128;
des.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
des.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
byte[] md5Bytes = md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(key));
byte[] ivBytes = new byte[8];
des.Key = md5Bytes;
des.IV = ivBytes;
byte[] clearBytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(clearText);
ICryptoTransform ct = des.CreateEncryptor();
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, des.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
cs.Write(clearBytes, 0, clearBytes.Length);
cs.Close();
}
encryptedText = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
}
Edited: Both versions now return the test case result "nmj8MjjO52y928Syqf0J+g=="

Java Decyption logic throwing BadpaddingException But its working in .NET

.NET code
public String Decrypt(string encryptedString)
{
byte[] toEncryptArray = Convert.FromBase64String(encryptedString)
MD5CryptoServiceProvider hashmd5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] keyArray = hashmd5.ComputeHash(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(key));
hashmd5.Clear();
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
tdes.Key = keyArray;
tdes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
tdes.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
ICryptoTransform cTransform = tdes.CreateDecryptor();
byte[] resultArray = cTransform.TransformFinalBlock(
toEncryptArray, 0, toEncryptArray.Length);
}
Java code
public void decryptin(String encryptedText) throws Exception{
byte[] message = Base64.decodeBase64(encryptedText.getBytes("UTF-8"));
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
byte[] digestOfUsername = md.digest(key.getBytes("UTF-8"));
byte[] keyBytes = Arrays.copyOf(digestOfUsername, 24);
SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DESede");
Cipher decipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/ECB/PKCS5Padding",new SunJCE());
decipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[] plainText = decipher.doFinal(message);// BadpaddingException
String decryptedString = new String(plainText);
}
.NET code working fine but java is code is not give the proper output
its giving BadpaddingException : at dofinal() please correct me where i am doing mistake.

Ok, so the problem is that you are converting the encrypted bytes to a hex string (using the asHex method) but are not converting the hex string back to a byte array correctly for decryption. You can't use getBytes.
You can use the following method to convert a hex string to a byte array:
public static byte[] fromHexString(String s) {
int len = s.length();
byte[] data = new byte[len / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i += 2) {
data[i / 2] = (byte) ((Character.digit(s.charAt(i), 16) << 4)
+ Character.digit(s.charAt(i+1), 16));
}
return data;
}
and then change your decrypt method to use:
original = decipher.doFinal(fromHexString(message));

finally i got the ans :
public void decrypt(String encryptedText)throws Exception {
byte[] message = new BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(encryptedText);
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
byte[] digestOfPassword = md.digest(kEY.getBytes("UTF-16LE"));
byte[] keyBytes = new byte[24];
System.arraycopy(digestOfPassword, 0, keyBytes, 0, 16);
System.arraycopy(digestOfPassword, 0, keyBytes, 16, 8);
SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DESede");
Cipher decipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
decipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[] plainText = decipher.doFinal(message);
String decryptedString = new String(plainText, UTF);
}

I am able to encrypt an SMS and send it from one simulator (Android 2.2) to another.
On the receiving end I am able to do the decryption successfully. But the problem is if do the encryption in one OS version (i.e Android 2.2) and trying to decrypt in another OS version ( Android 2.3 ) i am getting 'Bad padding exception'. I checked that i used the same key on both ends.

And I am using sendTextMessage() function to send an sms. I read that encryption/decryption doesn't depend on OS but in this case that is not true. Am I missing any important things while configuring the Cipher (in AES) ? Please let me know.

It's setSeed(). It does not do what you think it does: it just adds the entropy of the given seed to the underlying algorithm. You'll probably find out that it returns somehthing different on both platforms. SHA1PRNG is a pseudo random function, but if it is already seeded, it's likely to return different results.

If the problem is in the key length, you could derivate a key from your password, instead of using it directly. You could use a Hash (like SHA-1, MD5, etc) and crop it to the correct size (128, 192 or 256 bits), or use PBEKeySpec instead of SecretKeySpec.
That to remove problems with the key length. If the padding problems were in the plaintext, I suggest you to use CipherInputStream and CipherOutputStream, which are more programmer-friendly to use than Cipher.doFinal.

Don't rely on KeyGenerator to generate the same key just because you seeded the RNG the same way. If you are pre-sharing a key, share the key, not the seed.
You should also specify the encryption transform completely: "AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding"
Finally, ECB mode is not secure for general use.
See another answer of mine for an example to perform encryption correctly with the JCE.

The problem is with SecureRandom generation. It is giving different results on different platforms. It's because of a bug fix on line 320 (in Gingerbread source) of SHA1PRNG_SecureRandomImpl.java in the engineNextBytes() method where
bits = seedLength << 3 + 64;
was changed to
bits = (seedLength << 3) + 64;
Use SecretKeyFactory() to generate a Secure key instead of secure random.
