Many years ago I used this code to encrypt an entire file:
public static void CryptFile(string sInputFilename, string sOutputFilename, string sKey)
{
FileStream fsInput = new FileStream(sInputFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
FileStream fsEncrypted = new FileStream(sOutputFilename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
ICryptoTransform desencrypt = DES.CreateEncryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(fsEncrypted,desencrypt,CryptoStreamMode.Write);
byte[] bytearrayinput = new byte[fsInput.Length];
fsInput.Read(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
cryptostream.Write(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
cryptostream.Close();
fsInput.Close();
fsEncrypted.Close();
}
Today I tried to use it again but I always get this error:
the specified key size is not valid for this algorithm.
I have tried with many strings of varying length but cannot understand which is the correct length to use.
The correct length is 8 characters, such as "12345678"

So im making a encryption/decryption windows forms project for fun, but my decryption app shows me a error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Bad Data.
I can't find any fixes in the internet and in not that good in c#, so maybe you can help me.
Encryption:
static void EncryptFile(string sInputFile,
string sOutputFile,
string sKey)
{
FileStream fsInput = new FileStream(sInputFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
FileStream fsEncrypted = new FileStream(sOutputFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
ICryptoTransform desencrypt = DES.CreateEncryptor();
CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(fsEncrypted, desencrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
byte[] bytearrayinput = new byte[fsInput.Length - 1];
fsInput.Read(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
cryptoStream.Write(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
}
Decryption:
static void DecryptFile(string sInputFilename,
string sOutputFilename,
string sKey)
{
DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
FileStream fsread = new FileStream(sInputFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
ICryptoTransform desdecrypt = DES.CreateDecryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostreamDecr = new CryptoStream(fsread, desdecrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Read);
StreamWriter fsDecrypted = new StreamWriter(sOutputFilename);
fsDecrypted.Write(new StreamReader(cryptostreamDecr).ReadToEnd());
fsDecrypted.Flush();
fsDecrypted.Close();
}
How i use them:
EncryptFile(fileBox.Text, fileOutFolder+"/encrypted.txt", sSecretKey);
DecryptFile(fileBox.Text, saveFileDialog1.FileName, keyBox.Text)
The encrypted data is probably not in the target file when you read from it.
You should close your streams in EncryptFile. And since stream are disposable, you should put them in a 'using' construct:
using (fsInput=[....])
{
using (fsEncrypted=[..])
{
[....]
fsEnCrypted.Close();
}
}
I think solution to Your problem is quite simple and lies in calling DecryptFile(...) method. I don't know whole code, but try to replace SaveFileDialog object with OpenFileDialog object. I can't see any SaveFileDialog object in Your attached code, so it's only rational explanation of this strange behaviour in Your app.
Hope this will be helpfull for You.
Well... just by adding flush() and close() to my cryptoStream did work.
Feel free to use this lazt as f*** encryption meth-od.
I've code to decrypt file in DES Encryption, I try I keep getting the file even though I enter the key at the time when the key decrypt the encrypted differently. But i've get the error.
while ((data = cryptostreamDecr.ReadByte()) != -1) // Message Error : Bad Data.
Which code should I add or change in order to keep the process running decrypt?
private static void DecryptFile(string sInputFilename, string sKey)
{
var DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
DES.Key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
DES.IV = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
ICryptoTransform desdecrypt = DES.CreateDecryptor();
using (var fsread = new FileStream(sInputFilename, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
using (var cryptostreamDecr = new CryptoStream(fsread,
desdecrypt,
CryptoStreamMode.Read))
{
int data;
fsread.Flush();
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
while ((data = cryptostreamDecr.ReadByte()) != -1)
{
ms.WriteByte((byte)data);
}
cryptostreamDecr.Close();
using (var fsWrite = new FileStream(sInputFilename, FileMode.Truncate))
{
ms.WriteTo(fsWrite);
ms.Flush();
}
}
}
}
}
Encrypt Code :
public static void EncryptFile(string sInputFilename, string sKey)
{
FileStream fsInput = new FileStream(sInputFilename,
FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.ReadWrite);
DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
ICryptoTransform desencrypt = DES.CreateEncryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(fsInput,
desencrypt,
CryptoStreamMode.Write);
byte[] bytearrayinput = new byte[fsInput.Length];
fsInput.Read(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
fsInput.SetLength(0);
cryptostream.Write(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
cryptostream.FlushFinalBlock();
cryptostream.Close();
fsInput.Close();
}
[EDIT] : remove in Encypt :
cryptostream.FlushFinalBlock();
And add in decrypt
DES.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
64 bits is the only valid key size for the DES encryption algorithm.
8 bits is equal to one ASCII character means 64 bits is equal to 8 Characters.
If you send 8 characters only then check this (C# "Bad Data" exception when decrypting encrypted file). It may solve your problem.
[Edit]
Add DES.Padding = PaddingMode.None; in DecryptFile.

How to create a password protected file in C#
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Am having a FILE named Sample. It may be of any type(.txt/.doc/.docx/.pdf/....). Now I want to set a password for that file. If it is possible just help me with code's.
You can Encrypt the file using your own passwort or with generated keys (See the documentation)
Example from MSDN:
class Class1
{
// Call this function to remove the key from memory after use for security
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("KERNEL32.DLL", EntryPoint="RtlZeroMemory")]
public static extern bool ZeroMemory(IntPtr Destination, int Length);
// Function to Generate a 64 bits Key.
static string GenerateKey()
{
// Create an instance of Symetric Algorithm. Key and IV is generated automatically.
DESCryptoServiceProvider desCrypto =(DESCryptoServiceProvider)DESCryptoServiceProvider.Create();
// Use the Automatically generated key for Encryption.
return ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(desCrypto.Key);
}
static void EncryptFile(string sInputFilename,
string sOutputFilename,
string sKey)
{
FileStream fsInput = new FileStream(sInputFilename,
FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read);
FileStream fsEncrypted = new FileStream(sOutputFilename,
FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write);
DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
ICryptoTransform desencrypt = DES.CreateEncryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(fsEncrypted,
desencrypt,
CryptoStreamMode.Write);
byte[] bytearrayinput = new byte[fsInput.Length];
fsInput.Read(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
cryptostream.Write(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length);
cryptostream.Close();
fsInput.Close();
fsEncrypted.Close();
}
static void DecryptFile(string sInputFilename,
string sOutputFilename,
string sKey)
{
DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
//A 64 bit key and IV is required for this provider.
//Set secret key For DES algorithm.
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
//Set initialization vector.
DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey);
//Create a file stream to read the encrypted file back.
FileStream fsread = new FileStream(sInputFilename,
FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read);
//Create a DES decryptor from the DES instance.
ICryptoTransform desdecrypt = DES.CreateDecryptor();
//Create crypto stream set to read and do a
//DES decryption transform on incoming bytes.
CryptoStream cryptostreamDecr = new CryptoStream(fsread,
desdecrypt,
CryptoStreamMode.Read);
//Print the contents of the decrypted file.
StreamWriter fsDecrypted = new StreamWriter(sOutputFilename);
fsDecrypted.Write(new StreamReader(cryptostreamDecr).ReadToEnd());
fsDecrypted.Flush();
fsDecrypted.Close();
}
static void Main()
{
// Must be 64 bits, 8 bytes.
// Distribute this key to the user who will decrypt this file.
string sSecretKey;
// Get the Key for the file to Encrypt.
sSecretKey = GenerateKey();
// For additional security Pin the key.
GCHandle gch = GCHandle.Alloc( sSecretKey,GCHandleType.Pinned );
// Encrypt the file.
EncryptFile(#"C:\MyData.txt",
#"C:\Encrypted.txt",
sSecretKey);
// Decrypt the file.
DecryptFile(#"C:\Encrypted.txt",
#"C:\Decrypted.txt",
sSecretKey);
// Remove the Key from memory.
ZeroMemory(gch.AddrOfPinnedObject(), sSecretKey.Length * 2);
gch.Free();
}
}
}
You cannot set a password on every file in order to restrict it from opening. However, you can protect file contents by using encryption.

thanks for responses. i found the reason. i should use filestream not the streamwriter in the decryptFile function
following routine I'm using to serialize objects securely.
Maybe it can help you to understand how stream encryption works:
public bool Save(string filename, object toSerialize)
{
byte[] SALT = new byte[]
{0x26, 0xdc, 0xff, 0x00, 0xad, 0xed, 0x7a, 0xee, 0xc5, 0xfe, 0x07, 0xaf, 0x4d, 0x08, 0x22, 0x3c};
string EncryptionKey = "MYPASSWORD";
//basic serialization
IFormatter form = new BinaryFormatter();
var stream = new MemoryStream();
form.Serialize(stream, toSerialize);
//cryptography preparation
var alg = new RijndaelManaged();
var pdb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(EncryptionKey, SALT);
alg.Key = pdb.GetBytes(32);
alg.IV = pdb.GetBytes(16);
stream.Position = 0;
//cryptorgraphy serialization
var encStream = new MemoryStream();
var cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(encStream, alg.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write);
cryptoStream.Write(stream.ToArray(), 0, (int)stream.Length);
cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
var outputFileStream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
outputFileStream.Write(encStream.ToArray(), 0, (int)encStream.Length);
outputFileStream.Close();
return true;
}
I can also put you sources to deserialize encrypted stream.
Hey I'm very new to encryption and decryption, or even the c# language to be honest. Basically, I have a tcp chat server that "saves" logs and encrypts the text file. This is how I encrypt (based from the MSDN sample):
public static void EncryptFile(string strInputFileName, string strOutputFileName, string strKey)
{
FileStream fsIn = new FileStream(strInputFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
FileStream fsOut = new FileStream(strOutputFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
DESCryptoServiceProvider des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
des.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strKey);
des.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strKey);
ICryptoTransform desencrypt = des.CreateEncryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(fsOut, desencrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
byte[] byteArrayInput = new byte[fsIn.Length - 1];
fsIn.Read(byteArrayInput, 0, byteArrayInput.Length);
cryptostream.Write(byteArrayInput, 0, byteArrayInput.Length);
fsIn.Close();
fsOut.Close();
}
The method success fully encrypts files. This is my decrypt method:
public static void DecryptFile(string strInputFileName, string strOutputFileName, string strKey)
{
DESCryptoServiceProvider des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
des.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strKey);
des.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strKey);
byte[] te = new byte[1024];
FileStream fsRead = new FileStream(strInputFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
ICryptoTransform desdecrypt = des.CreateDecryptor();
CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(fsRead, desdecrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Read);
StreamWriter fsDecrypted = new StreamWriter(strOutputFileName);
fsDecrypted.Write(new StreamReader(cryptostream).ReadToEnd());//This is where the "Bad Data" occurs.
fsDecrypted.Flush();
fsDecrypted.Close();
fsRead.Close();
}
And when I inspect the cryptostream object, it says that it has thrown an exception, "Stream does not support seeking".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here:
cryptostream.Write(byteArrayInput, 0, byteArrayInput.Length);
fsIn.Close();
fsOut.Close();
You're closing fsOut directly, without closing cryptostream. That means the crypto stream doesn't get the chance to flush any final blocks etc.
Additionally:
Use using statements instead of manually calling Close or Dispose
You're currently calling Read once, and assuming it will read all the data - you're not checking the return value. (You're also removing the last byte of the input file for some reason... why?) In general, you should loop round, reading into a buffer and then writing out however many bytes you read, until the Read method returns 0. If you're using .NET 4, Stream.CopyTo is your friend.
objCryptStream.CopyTo(stream);
Worked for me, complete code is
public static string DecryptString(string encriptedText, string key)
{
try
{
//Convert the text into bytest
byte[] ecriptedBytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(encriptedText);
// Create a memory stream to the passed buffer
MemoryStream objMemStream = new MemoryStream(ecriptedBytes);
//Set the legal keys and initialization verctors
objCrptoService.Key = GetLegalsecretKey(key);
objCrptoService.IV = GetLegalIV();
// Create a CryptoStream using the memory stream and the cryptographic service provider version
// of the Data Encryption stanadard algorithm key
CryptoStream objCryptStream = new CryptoStream(objMemStream, objCrptoService.CreateDecryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Read);
// Create a StreamReader for reading the stream.
//StreamReader objstreamReader = new StreamReader(objCryptStream);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
objCryptStream.CopyTo(stream);
stream.Position = 0;
StreamReader R = new StreamReader(stream);
string outputText = R.ReadToEnd();
// Close the streams.
R.Close();
objCryptStream.Close();
objMemStream.Close();
return outputText;
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
return "";
}
}
What fixed my issue was calling FlushFinalBlock on cryptostream, When creating the file
CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, this._encryptionKeyHelper.Encryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write);
xmlser.Serialize(cryptostream, builderObject);
cryptostream.FlushFinalBlock();
