Java's new Base64(-1) in PHP? - java

I m trying to match java base64 code in php. But getting inconsistent result.
Java base64 encode
encMessage = URLEncoder.encode(new Base64(-1).encodeToString(encrypted),"UTF8");
Java decode
message = URLDecoder.decode(message,"utf8");
Above code java encode code return the string which i have to decode and decrypt in php
PHP base64 decode
$message = utf8_decode(urldecode($encrypted));
$message = base64_decode($message);
PHP encode
$encMessage = base64_encode($encrypted);
$encMessage = utf8_encode(urlencode($encMessage));
Results:
java:
KO%2F%2B%2Bzbp5z8oCdvZn62jb72kseT%2Bem8hYUZY0IuB9zo%3D
php:
KO%2F%2B%2Bzbp5z8oCdvZn62jb3CVVVXsV%2Bws2kDOmKK%2BPEc%3D

I had this problem between CSharp and Java, and found that URL encoding things was the culprit. What I did in my work around was basically re-encrypt the data with a newly generated public key until I got one that didn't need URL encoding. Not a great solution, but it works, it averages 2 tries to get it right, but I've seen it taking up to 15 tries to do it, either way we're still talking milliseconds, and it works reliably.
YMMV

C# HttpUtility.UrlEncode vs Java URLEncoder.encode inconsistencies

I have a key(12345#678!9) which I need to encode on 2 applications, one C# one Java.
C#
var key = "12345#678!9";
var enc = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(key, Encoding.UTF8);
Console.WriteLine(enc);
The output here is 12345%23678!9
Java
var key = "12345#678!9";
var enc = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(key, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString);
System.out.println(enc)
The output here is 12345%23678%219
As you can see the two encoded values are different, the Java code is encoding the '!' as %21 where the C# code is not.
I cant change the key nor can I change the C# code.
So a solution will need to be on the Java side.
Is there a Java the equivalent of the C# method HttpUtility.UrlEncode?
Are they other options aside from java.net.URLEncoder.encode that I could use?
Thanks in advance

Ruby base 64 decoding for Java base 64 encoding

I having a string that is encoded in java using
data = new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(encVal), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
I am receiving this encoded data as an API response. I want to base64 decode this in ruby. I am using
Base64.strict_decode64(data)
for this. but this is not working. Can anyone help me with this?
Your Java code is correct:
byte[] encVal = "Hello World".getBytes();
String data = new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(encVal), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println(data); // SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=
The SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ= decodes correctly using multiple tools, e.g. https://www.base64decode.org/.
You are observing garbage characters decoding your value most likely due to an error in creating byte[]. Possibly you have to specify the correct encoding when creating byte[].

Character Encoding Conversion In Groovy From UTF-8 to EUC-JP

We require character encoding conversion for one of our service, our requirement is to fetch characters in UTF-8 encoded format and should convert to EUC-JP then prepare some hashing on (Groovy based on) jdk8.
In php, similar solution works fine for us and coded as,
$encodedToEucJp = mb_convert_encoding($inputStringWithUtf8, “EUC-JP”);
Print_r(md5($encodedToEucJp));
We have tried many ways for the solution, e.g.,
Java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance(‘MD5’)
.digest(New String(inputStringWithUtf8.getBytes(“UTF-8”), “EUC-JP”)
.getBytes(“EUC-JP”))
.encodeHex()
.toString();
But, this solution failed for some of the characters that produces different digest then from our php coded solution. Here few characters are mentioned ―, ĭ, ? etc. That’s the reason why we couldn't product same digest with same input both in php and java system.
Thanks, in advance.
The error is in this part of the code:
New String(inputStringWithUtf8.getBytes(“UTF-8”), “EUC-JP”)
Basically, you try to interpret an UTF-8 byte array as if it were encoded in EUC-JP, which is a non-sense.
The following code should do the job
Java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance(‘MD5’)
.digest(inputStringWithUtf8.getBytes(“EUC-JP”))
.encodeHex()
.toString();

Input byte array has incorrect ending byte at 40

I have a string that is base64 encoded. It looks like this:
eyJibGExIjoiYmxhMSIsImJsYTIiOiJibGEyIn0=
Any online tool can decode this to the proper string which is {"bla1":"bla1","bla2":"bla2"}. However, my Java implementation fails:
import java.util.Base64;
System.out.println("payload = " + payload);
String json = new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode(payload));
I'm getting the following error:
payload = eyJibGExIjoiYmxhMSIsImJsYTIiOiJibGEyIn0=
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Input byte array has incorrect ending byte at 40
What is wrong with my code?
Okay, I found out. The original String is encoded on an Android device using android.util.Base64 by Base64.encodeToString(json.getBytes("UTF-8"), Base64.DEFAULT);. It uses android.util.Base64.DEFAULT encoding scheme.
Then on the server side when using java.util.Base64 this has to be decoded with Base64.getMimeDecoder().decode(payload) not with Base64.getDecoder().decode(payload)
I was trying to use the strings from the args. I found that if I use arg[0].trim() that it made it work. eg
Base64.getDecoder().decode(arg[0].trim());
I guess there's some sort of whitespace that gets it messed up.
Maybe too late, but I also had this problem.
By default, the Android Base64 util adds a newline character to the end of the encoded string.
The Base64.NO_WRAP flag tells the util to create the encoded string without the newline character.
Your android app should encode src something like this:
String encode = Base64.encodeToString(src.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);

NSData to Java String

I've been writing a Web Application recently that interacts with iPhones. The iPhone iphone will actually send information to the server in the form of a plist. So it's not uncommon to see something like...
<key>RandomData</key>
<data>UW31vrxbUTl07PaDRDEln3EWTLojFFmsm7YuRAscirI=</data>
Now I know this data is hashed/encrypted in some fashion. When I open up the plist with an editor (Property List Editor), it shows me a more "human readable" format. For example, the data above would be converted into something like...
<346df5da 3c5b5259 74ecf683 4431249f 711630ba 232c54ac 9bf2ee44 0r1c8ab2>
Any idea what the method of converting it is? Mainly I'm looking to get this into a Java String.
Thanks!
According to our friends at wikipedia, the <data> tag contains Base64 encoded data. So, use your favorite Java "Base64" class to decode (see also this question).
ps. technically, this is neither "hashed" nor "encrypted", simply "encoded". "Hashed" implies a one-way transformation where multiple input values can yield the same output value. "Encrypted" implies the need for a (usually secret) "key" to reverse the encryption. Base64 encoding is simply a way of representing arbitrary binary data using only printable characters.
After base64 decoding it you need to hex encode it. This is what PL Editor is showing you.
So...
<key>SomeData</key>
<data>UW31ejxbelle7PaeRAEen3EWMLojbFmsm7LuRAscirI=</data?
Can be represented with...
byte[] bytes = Base64.decode("UW31ejxbelle7PaeRAEen3EWMLojbFmsm7LuRAscirI=");
BigInteger bigInt = new BigInteger(bytes);
String hexString = bigInt.toString(16);
System.out.println(hexString);
To get...
