How to fix "java.security.InvalidKeyException: Unsupported key algorithm: EC. Only RSA supported" while using Keystore in api 18

I need to store sensitive data in local storage with an API 18 , i choose to use the Keystore. I try several solution but none worked.
I try to make my RSAPrivateKey in PrivateKey without cast but it don't work.
I also try to use other crypting algorithm but i never success to make them work in API 18
public String decryptString(String alias, String encryptedText) {
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
keyStore.load(null);
String decryptedText = "";
try {
KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry privateKeyEntry = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry)keyStore.getEntry(alias, null);
RSAPrivateKey privateKey = (RSAPrivateKey) privateKeyEntry.getPrivateKey();
Cipher output = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
output.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, privateKey);
CipherInputStream cipherInputStream = new CipherInputStream(
new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64.decode(encryptedText, Base64.DEFAULT)), output);
ArrayList<Byte> values = new ArrayList<>();
int nextByte;
while ((nextByte = cipherInputStream.read()) != -1) {
values.add((byte)nextByte);
}
byte[] bytes = new byte[values.size()];
for(int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
bytes[i] = values.get(i).byteValue();
}
decryptedText = new String(bytes, 0, bytes.length, "UTF-8");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, Log.getStackTraceString(e));
}
return decryptedText;
}
public String encryptString(String alias, String initialText) {
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
keyStore.load(null);
String encryptedText = "";
try {
KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry privateKeyEntry = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry)keyStore.getEntry(alias, null);
PublicKey publicKey = privateKeyEntry.getCertificate().getPublicKey();
// Encrypt the text
if(initialText.isEmpty()) {
Log.e(TAG, "initialText is Empty");
return "";
}
Cipher input = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
input.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, publicKey);//Need RSA private or public key
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
CipherOutputStream cipherOutputStream = new CipherOutputStream(
outputStream, input);
cipherOutputStream.write(initialText.getBytes("UTF-8"));
cipherOutputStream.close();
byte [] vals = outputStream.toByteArray();
encryptedText = Base64.encodeToString(vals, Base64.DEFAULT);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, Log.getStackTraceString(e));
}
return encryptedText;
}
Here is the erot i get. I would like to success to keep my data in a secure place
java.security.InvalidKeyException: Unsupported key algorithm: EC. Only RSA supported
at com.cryptor.Cryptor.encryptString(Cryptor.java:108)

I don't see where/when you generate your RSA key. On my side, I have done the following steps :
Create/retrieve the Keystore
Generate RSA keys with a KeyPairGenerator (be careful : different methods since Android M)
val generator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance(ALGORITHM, CryptoConstants.ANDROID_KEY_STORE)
Here, ALGORITHM="RSA" and not "RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding" and CryptoConstants.ANDROID_KEY_STORE = "AndroidKeyStore" (for example)
Save keys in the Keystore
Encrypt with the public key
Decrypt with the private key
With these steps, my encryption methods are
fun encrypt(publicKey: PublicKey, rawText: ByteArray): String {
try {
val cipher = CipherUtil.getStandardCipherInstance(TRANSFORMATION) // TRANSFORMATION = "RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding"
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, publicKey)
val bytes = cipher.doFinal(rawText)
return Base64.encodeToString(bytes, BASE64_SETTINGS) // BASE64_SETTINGS = Base64.NO_WRAP
} catch (e: GeneralSecurityException) {
throw SecurityException(e)
}
}
fun decrypt(privateKey: PrivateKey, base64CipherBytes: ByteArray): ByteArray {
try {
val cipher = CipherUtil.getStandardCipherInstance(TRANSFORMATION) // TRANSFORMATION = "RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding"
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, privateKey)
val encryptedData = Base64.decode(base64CipherBytes, BASE64_SETTINGS) // BASE64_SETTINGS
return cipher.doFinal(encryptedData)
} catch (e: GeneralSecurityException) {
throw SecurityException(e)
}
}
Btw, you can bypass the Base64 encoding if you don't need it.

javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: pad block corrupted sometimes

I have the following code for encrypt
public static String encrypt(String value, char[] secret) {
try {
final byte[] bytes = value != null ? value.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8) : new byte[0];
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
SecretKey key = keyFactory.generateSecret(new PBEKeySpec(secret));
Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
pbeCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, new PBEParameterSpec(IsoGame.$().crossPlatformManager.getCrossPlatformUtilsInstance().getDeviceUniqueIdentifier().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), 20));
return new String(Base64.encodeBase64(pbeCipher.doFinal(bytes)), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return value;
}
and the following code for decrypt.
public static String decrypt(String value, char[] secret) {
try {
final byte[] bytes = value != null ? Base64.decodeBase64(value.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) : new byte[0];
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
SecretKey key = keyFactory.generateSecret(new PBEKeySpec(secret));
Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
pbeCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, new PBEParameterSpec(IsoGame.$().crossPlatformManager.getCrossPlatformUtilsInstance().getDeviceUniqueIdentifier().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), 20));
return new String(pbeCipher.doFinal(bytes), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return value;
}
However, sometimes the exception is being thrown at
pbeCipher.doFinal(bytes)
in decrypt method.
The exception is javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: pad block corrupted
It's strange, as I'm getting this exception sometimes with the same values .
Any ideas?
Thanks.

The most likely reason would simply be the wrong password to be supplied. If the wrong password is supplied then the wrong key is derived. Then the ciphertext will be decrypted to garbage plaintext. This will only be noticed if the padding exception gets thrown: unpadding random bytes is likely to fail.
You could e.g. first validate that the derived key is correct by performing a HMAC over known data using the derived key. In addition, it would be a good idea to use some kind of authenticated encryption, so that if the key or data is wrong or corrupted that decryption does indeed fail. If you're unlucky then - at this time - the data will decrypt, unpadding will succeed and you end up with garbage plaintext.
Of course, you'd better upgrade to PBKDF2 for key derivation, and upgrade AES to e.g. AES-GCM instead of DES. Currently your encryption is entirely insecure, even if you use a strong password.

Your problem is
IsoGame.$().crossPlatformManager.getCrossPlatformUtilsInstance().getDeviceUniqueIdentifier().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
I have ran the following code multiple times and no exception occurred and the decrypted data was equal to "Hello there!":
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new CryptographyError();
}
private CryptographyError()
{
char[] secret = "MySecret".toCharArray();
String mesasge = "Hello there!";
EncryptedData encryptedData = encrypt(mesasge, secret);
System.out.println("ENCRYPTED " + encryptedData.encryptedString);
String decrypted = decrypt(encryptedData, secret);
System.out.println("DECRYPTED " + decrypted);
}
private static final SecureRandom RANDOM = new SecureRandom();
public static EncryptedData encrypt(String value, char[] secret) {
try {
final byte[] bytes = value != null ? value.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8) : new byte[0];
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
SecretKey key = keyFactory.generateSecret(new PBEKeySpec(secret));
Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
byte[] salt = new byte[8];
RANDOM.nextBytes(salt);
pbeCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, new PBEParameterSpec(salt, 20));
return new EncryptedData(salt, new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(pbeCipher.doFinal(bytes)), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(value);
}
return null;
}
public static String decrypt(EncryptedData encryptedData, char[] secret) {
try {
String value = encryptedData.encryptedString;
byte[] salt = encryptedData.salt;
final byte[] bytes = value != null ? Base64.getDecoder().decode(value.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) : new byte[0];
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
SecretKey key = keyFactory.generateSecret(new PBEKeySpec(secret));
Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
pbeCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, new PBEParameterSpec(salt, 20));
return new String(pbeCipher.doFinal(bytes), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
private static class EncryptedData
{
private final byte[] salt;
private final String encryptedString;
private EncryptedData(byte[] salt, String encryptedString)
{
this.salt = salt;
this.encryptedString = encryptedString;
}
}
The only main difference between my code and your code is
IsoGame.$().crossPlatformManager.getCrossPlatformUtilsInstance().getDeviceUniqueIdentifier().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
which means that must not return the same value on encryption and decryption.
Also if you want to test this you can just change the salt between them and notice the exception is thrown again.
Also Maarten Bodewes gave you some good notes about how to improve your code.

Invalid Cipher bytes in Encryption method in Android using RSA

We are facing an issue while trying to Encrypt data in Android and Decrypt it in a WCF Service. The Android code to encrypt data is as follows:
try{
String strModulus = "tr82UfeGetV7yBKcOPjFTWs7pHqqr/5YKKWMUZ/HG4HnCmWrZsOhuR1FBnMZ/g2YiosoSlu0zd7Ukz9lX7wv2RLfWXfMvZYGpAAvfYWwzbyQ2i1q+tKE/thgKNscoSRellDD+uJcYn1H4hnaudVyYJH9miVhOKhKlExMzw8an6U=";

Original Data : 'Manchester United'
The strange thing is that if I encrypt a string with the Java code it can be decrypted at the WCF service end, however, if it is encrypted using the above Android code, the decryption provides the error: "The data to be decrypted exceeds the maximum for this modulus of 128 bytes".
On debugging, I realized that the byte[] cipherData is not the same for Android and Java. All the previous values happen to be in sync. This generates different Encrypted Strings in Java and Android.
My question is why does this happen? Is there a silly mistake? Is there a way to work around it? Or something else that can be done in Android to get the 'Cipher Data' right?
Any help will be appreciated.

You are using a different padding on Android. Use the exact same padding on Android as well:
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");

Can't restore privateKey RSA

I have this issue about java cryptography.
I take a password from the user then I product a private key and a public key.From the public key I create the cipher and then I store the private key and the cipher.
Then from my second application I read the password again from the user , the cipher file and the private key and then I try to match the password with the decryption of the cipher and the private Key.
My first application:
private static byte[] encrypt(byte[] inpBytes, PublicKey key,
String xform) throws Exception {
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(xform);
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
return cipher.doFinal(inpBytes);
}
String xform = "RSA";
// Generate a key-pair
KeyPairGenerator kpg = null;
try {
kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Efarmogi_1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
kpg.initialize(512); // 512 is the keysize.
KeyPair kp = kpg.generateKeyPair();
/create public and private key
PublicKey pubk = kp.getPublic();
PrivateKey prvk = kp.getPrivate();
//password from user
String password = T_Password.getText();
byte[] dataBytes = password.getBytes();
//create cipher
byte[] encBytes = null;
try {
encBytes = encrypt(dataBytes, pubk, xform);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Efarmogi_1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
//storing
//cipher
FileOutputStream cipher = null;
try {
cipher = new FileOutputStream( "Xrhstes\\"+T_Username.getText()+"\\hash_"+T_Username.getText());
cipher.write(encBytes);//write with bytes
cipher.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Efarmogi_1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
//private key
byte[] key2 = prvk.getEncoded();
FileOutputStream keyfos2 = null;
try {
keyfos2 = new FileOutputStream("Xrhstes\\"+T_Username.getText()+"\\private_"+ T_Username.getText()+".pem");
keyfos2.write(key2);
keyfos2.close();
and this is the second application:
private static byte[] decrypt(byte[] inpBytes, PrivateKey key,String xform) throws Exception{
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(xform);
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
return cipher.doFinal(inpBytes);
}
//fetch private key
byte[] prvk1 = new byte[(int)new File("C:\\...\\"+T_Username.getText()+"\\private_"+ T_Username.getText()).length()];
//make it from bytes to private key
KeyFactory kf= KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PrivateKey prvk=kf.generatePrivate(new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(prvk1));
//fetch cipher
byte[] encBytes = new byte[(int)new File("C:\\...\\"+T_Username.getText()+"\\hash_"+ T_Username.getText()).length()];
//decrypt with our password given from user
String xform = "RSA";
byte[] decBytes = decrypt(encBytes,prvk, xform);
boolean expected = java.util.Arrays.equals(password, decBytes);
System.out.println("Test " + (expected ? "SUCCEEDED!" : "FAILED!"));
My issue is when I try to retransform the bytes saved , back to privateKey I get multiple errors that key type is invalid(problem starts at decoding PKCS8EncodedKeySpec it is noted that KeySpec is invalid).I tried numerous ways but still the same,could someone guide me where is my mistake ? thanks in advance!!!

With the following lines:
byte[] prvk1 = new byte[(int)new File("C:\\...\\"+T_Username.getText()+"\\private_"+ T_Username.getText()).length()];
and
byte[] encBytes = new byte[(int)new File("C:\\...\\"+T_Username.getText()+"\\hash_"+ T_Username.getText()).length()];
You actually create two empty byte arrays. You only indicate the size of the array using File.length(), which obviously is not correct. Try again after actually reading the files, e.g. using the readAllBytes method (requires Java 8 or higher).

Why always give me false in signature?

I try in this code to verify my code, I have public key , my data and signature.I am read my signature from file and convert my string to public key then get my data and verify to signature.
public static boolean verify () {
String publickey = "MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQE";
byte[] encKey = Base64.decodeBase64(publickey.getBytes());
try {
byte[] MACaddress = GetData();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(
"EndSignatuer.txt"));
FileInputStream keyfis = new FileInputStream("EndSignatuer.txt");
byte[] Signen = new byte[keyfis.available()];
keyfis.read(Signen);
keyfis.close();
X509EncodedKeySpec pubKeySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(encKey);
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PublicKey pubKey = keyFactory.generatePublic(pubKeySpec);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, pubKey);
byte[] deSignen = Base64.decodeBase64(Signen);
byte[] decrypted_digest = cipher.doFinal(deSignen);
MessageDigest md5_digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md5_digest.update(MACaddress);
byte[] digest = md5_digest.digest();
if (decrypted_digest == digest) {
return true;
}else {
return false;//her why give me false
}
Code encryption:
public static void GenarationKEY(byte[] data) {
try {
File fileEndSignatuer = new File("EndSignatuer.txt");
FileOutputStream fopEndSignatuer = new FileOutputStream(
fileEndSignatuer);
// /Read private key from file
FileInputStream keyfis = new FileInputStream("PiveteKey.txt");
byte[] PrivateKeyB = new byte[keyfis.available()];
keyfis.read(PrivateKeyB);
keyfis.close();
byte[] decodePrivetekey = Base64.decodeBase64(PrivateKeyB);
// /get private key
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec pubKeySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(
decodePrivetekey);
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PrivateKey privKey = keyFactory.generatePrivate(pubKeySpec);
// / make hash
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, privKey);
// /make encoding
MessageDigest md5_digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
byte[] digest = md5_digest.digest(data);
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(digest);
byte[] degnatureencode = Base64.encodeBase64(cipherText);
fopEndSignatuer.write(degnatureencode);
fopEndSignatuer.flush();
fopEndSignatuer.close();
}

First of all, what you do is not quite RSA digital signature. Use Signature class instead of combination Cipher and MessageDigest. Or if you insist to do it on low level, then consult specification, particularly section 9.2.
Secondly, string MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQE doesn't represent RSA public key neither it is proper Base64-encoded data.
Also you want to use Arrays.equals(byte[], byte[]) instead of equality operator, as the latter just ensures that array object is the same, while the former compares actual content of the arrays.
