Why can I encrypt only 16 characters of text?
Works:
string plainText = "1234567890123456";
Doesn't work:
string plainText = "12345678901234561";
Doesn't work:
string plainText = "123456789012345";
Code:
string plainText = "1234567890123456";
byte[] plainTextBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
byte[] keyBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("1234567890123456");
byte[] initVectorBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("1234567890123456");
RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged();
symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
symmetricKey.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
ICryptoTransform encryptor = symmetricKey.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, initVectorBytes);
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
cryptoStream.Write(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length);
cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
byte[] cipherTextBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
memoryStream.Close();
cryptoStream.Close();
string cipherText = Convert.ToBase64String(cipherTextBytes);
Console.ReadLine();
Not sure I understand the question, but looking at what I assume the intent is of the code the following
symmetricKey.CreateDecryptor
Should probably be
symmetricKey.CreateEncryptor
Probably because AES is a block cipher with 128 bits per block.. maybe you just need to add a padding such that length % 128 == 0.
(I'm not a C# developer but it can happen that an implementation doesn't care about adding padding by itself)
Just a hint: try if it works with 256 bits

I was wondering why the first 16 bytes of all my strings being encrypted, then when being decrypted are missing and how to fix this if it is possible. I am encrypting like so in c#
public static string EncryptString(string b_key, string plainText)
{
byte[] iv = new byte[16];
byte[] array;
using (Aes aes = Aes.Create())
{
aes.Key = Convert.FromBase64String(b_key);
aes.IV = iv;
ICryptoTransform encryptor = aes.CreateEncryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream((Stream)memoryStream, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter((Stream)cryptoStream))
{
streamWriter.Write(plainText);
}
array = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(array);
}
and decrypting in python3 like so
enc = base64.b64decode(self.text)
iv = enc[:16]
cipher = AES.new(self.key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv)
plain_text = cipher.decrypt(enc[16:])
plain_text = self.dePKCS7_padding(plain_text)
return plain_text
Is readding the first 16 bytes possible? or must be used for encryption. I also want it to crypto safe but the first 16 bytes are kind of important is this possible? anyway to get around this in either c# or python3?
Based on the discussion in comments and inputs from #MichaelFehr and #user9014097, I came up with the following code.
In this code the IV of AES will have random value created when AES.Create() is called. And the same will be used in the outcome of the encrypted value.
The decryptString method will capture the iv value from the incoming encrypted string and assign it to AES while decrypting the string.
public static string EncryptString(string b_key, string plainText)
{
byte[] array;
using (Aes aes = Aes.Create())
{
aes.Key = Convert.FromBase64String(b_key);
ICryptoTransform encryptor = aes.CreateEncryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
// Adding aes.IV to the stream's start.
memoryStream.Write(aes.IV);
using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(cryptoStream))
{
streamWriter.Write(plainText);
}
}
array = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
// The final encrypted outcome will be aes.IV+encryptedtext.
return Convert.ToBase64String(array);
}
public static string DecryptString(string key, string cipherText)
{
//input is iv+encrypted text, convert them to byte array.
byte[] buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText);
// byte array for iv
byte[] iv = new byte[16];
// byte array for rest of the cipher text.
byte[] cipherBuffer = new byte[buffer.Length - 16];
// copy first 16 bytes from the cipher text to iv.
Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer, 0, iv, 0, 16);
// copy rest of the cipher text to the cipher buffer to be decrypted.
Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer, 16, cipherBuffer, 0, buffer.Length - 16);
using (Aes aes = Aes.Create())
{
aes.Key = Convert.FromBase64String(key);
aes.IV = iv;
ICryptoTransform decryptor = aes.CreateDecryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(cipherBuffer))
{
using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
{
using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(cryptoStream))
{
return streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
}
}
I have following assumption in writing above code.
Length of IV is 16.
Python code (shared above) does not need split the input text based on some specific character. It takes first 16 bytes as IV value and rest of the bytes as cipher text.
I was able to encrypt and decrypt values successfully in C# using above methods.
I was not able to decrypt the value in python code as I have little to no idea on how to work with python.
You can test the outcome of above encryption in python to decrypt it. Let me know if it doesn't work as expected.
I hope this will help you solve your issue.
I try to do encrypt (with MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 Cipher CBC) in PHP and C#, but the output does not match.
key = '1234567812345678';
iv = '1234567812345678';
PHP:
function Encrypt($data, $key, $iv) {
return base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, $key, base64_encode($data), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv));
}
C#:
public static string Encrypt(string plainText, string key, string iv)
{
byte[] initVectorBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(iv);
byte[] plainTextBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(plainText);
byte[] keyBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(key);
using (RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged())
{
symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
symmetricKey.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
symmetricKey.KeySize = 128;
symmetricKey.BlockSize = 128;
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = symmetricKey.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, initVectorBytes))
{
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
cryptoStream.Write(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length);
cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
byte[] cipherTextBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
return Convert.ToBase64String(cipherTextBytes);
}
}
}
}
}
Help appreciated.
I think your problems lies within your PHP code.
The mcrypt_encrypt function expects the data (which needs to be encoded) to be in plaintext format, so you don't need an additional base64_encode since you are working with strings. The same way you pass the key and the iv to the function, you should hand your data variable to it. (untested)
function Encrypt($data, $key, $iv) {
return base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, $key, $data, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv));
}
Let me know your progress, so that I can help you with this in the future if anything doesn't work :)
In ms SQL server, I have a field text with data look like below:
"!"$$$$$$!#$$$$!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! "!! ! " !" ! !" !!!! ! !!"!".
I belive that from a plain text string, they using a Rijndael algorithm to encrypted this string. from encrypted string, it was transform to string above.
Can anyone recognize what the algorithm to decrypt from string above to the encrypted string of Rijndael algorithm?
thanks
Hi me drona please find the below code. It will useful from you.
public static class Encrypt
{
// This size of the IV (in bytes) must = (keysize / 8). Default keysize is 256, so the IV must be
// 32 bytes long. Using a 16 character string here gives us 32 bytes when converted to a byte array.
private const string initVector = "pemgail9uzpgzl88";
// This constant is used to determine the keysize of the encryption algorithm
private const int keysize = 256;
//Encrypt
public static string EncryptString(string plainText, string passPhrase)
{
byte[] initVectorBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(initVector);
byte[] plainTextBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
PasswordDeriveBytes password = new PasswordDeriveBytes(passPhrase, null);
byte[] keyBytes = password.GetBytes(keysize / 8);
RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged();
symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
ICryptoTransform encryptor = symmetricKey.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, initVectorBytes);
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
cryptoStream.Write(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length);
cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
byte[] cipherTextBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
memoryStream.Close();
cryptoStream.Close();
return Convert.ToBase64String(cipherTextBytes);
}
//Decrypt
public static string DecryptString(string cipherText, string passPhrase)
{
byte[] initVectorBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(initVector);
byte[] cipherTextBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText);
PasswordDeriveBytes password = new PasswordDeriveBytes(passPhrase, null);
byte[] keyBytes = password.GetBytes(keysize / 8);
RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged();
symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
ICryptoTransform decryptor = symmetricKey.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, initVectorBytes);
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(cipherTextBytes);
CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read);
byte[] plainTextBytes = new byte[cipherTextBytes.Length];
int decryptedByteCount = cryptoStream.Read(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length);
memoryStream.Close();
cryptoStream.Close();
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plainTextBytes, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
enter code here
when i use this code to encrypt and decrypt i got an error said
Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.
any idea
public static class Crypto

I tried the following using your methods and it worked fine:
var passPhrase = "123456";
var e = Encrypt("testtesttesttest", passPhrase);
Console.WriteLine(e); // YEtSJshcn686ZO+JlEQ48ap/odhuvIGalbAT1XhinqQ=
var d = Decrypt(e, passPhrase);
Console.WriteLine(d); // testtesttesttest
This suggests that you're either passing a different passPhrase to Decrypt() to the one you passed to Encrypt(), or that you are somehow corrupting the ciphertext prior to decryption. (Are you perhaps calling Decrypt with the ciphertext and passphrase parameters reversed?)
It's also worth noting that essentially everything in the comments at the top of your code is wrong:
You're not passing any salt to PasswordDeriveBytes.
The size of the IV must be equal to the block size (16 bytes), it is unrelated to the key size used.
Passing a 16 character string through Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes() results in a 16 byte output, not 32 bytes. (This rather coincidentally means that your initVectorBytes is in fact the correct length for the IV).
Furthermore, PasswordDeriveBytes is deprecated and should not be used. You should be using Rfc2898DeriveBytes instead, and you should be using a proper salt value. The IV should also not be a static value, and definitely not one derived from an ASCII string!
I need to encrypt a string using a salt and a key to match a java encryption so that the 3rd party provider can decrypt the values on the other side.
I have tried several StackOverflow articles as I am no expert in encryption and just cannot get the same encryption string using SALT and KEY as the 3rd party provider.
I need to know which encryption type and mode in C# to use to match java's AES encryptions as used here
https://gist.github.com/ca958d5921d47c4c0a0f
OK - I figured it out even though it's cheating to a degree. Because I could not find any encryption technique that would match the plain AES encryption provided by the 3rd party I asked them to change it to
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
With this I amended my C# code and finally got the integration working:
public static string Encrypt2(string plainText)
{
string PassPhrase = "somepassphrase";
string SaltValue = "somesalt";
int PasswordIterations = 0; //amend to match java encryption iteration
string InitVector = "someiv";
int KeySize = 0; //amend to match java encryption key size
byte[] initVectorBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(InitVector);
byte[] saltValueBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(SaltValue);
byte[] plainTextBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
Rfc2898DeriveBytes password = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(
PassPhrase,
saltValueBytes,
PasswordIterations);
byte[] keyBytes = password.GetBytes(KeySize / 8);
RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged();
symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
ICryptoTransform encryptor = symmetricKey.CreateEncryptor(
keyBytes,
initVectorBytes);
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream,
encryptor,
CryptoStreamMode.Write);
cryptoStream.Write(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length);
cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
byte[] cipherTextBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
memoryStream.Close();
cryptoStream.Close();
string cipherText = Convert.ToBase64String(cipherTextBytes);
return cipherText;
}
