I'm expanding an iOS project over to Android. My existing application communicates with a server via PHP using an AES encryption system.
Here are the functions that I am using on the PHP side:
Encrypt
function cryptAESEncrypt($string,$key) {
$key = md5($key);
$iv = "1234567890123436"; //IV isn't needed if MCRYPT_MODE is ECB (What we are using)
$data = $data = base64_encode($string);
$algorythm = MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128;
$mode = MCRYPT_MODE_ECB;
$encrypted = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128,$key,$data,MCRYPT_MODE_ECB,$iv);
return base64_encode($encrypted);
}
Decrypt
function cryptAESDecrypt($string,$key) {
$key = md5($key);
$iv = "1234567890123436"; //IV isn't needed if MCRYPT_MODE is ECB (What we are using)
$data = base64_decode($string);
$algorythm = MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128;
$mode = MCRYPT_MODE_ECB;
$decrypted = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128,$key,$data,MCRYPT_MODE_ECB,$iv);
return base64_decode($decrypted);
}
The general flow of the process is:
$key
(brings it down to 16 characters regardless)$string
The decryption works the same but in reverse.
Now I'm just playing with samples but don't seem to be having much luck. I've encrypted the string "test"
in PHP using that function ("test"
was the key too - MD5'ed to 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6
) and I am given the output of "ijzLe/2WgbaP+n3YScQSgQ=="
.
Now what I tried in Java didn't work as I get an incorrect key length error but I had more luck with a previous snippet earlier. Here's what I had anyway:
String key = "test";
String in = "ijzLe/2WgbaP+n3YScQSgQ==";
SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(md5(key).getBytes(), "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/NoPadding");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
byte[] encryptedByteArray = Base64.decode(in.getBytes(),0);
byte[] decryptedByteArray = cipher.doFinal(encryptedByteArray);
String decryptedData = new String(Base64.decode(decryptedByteArray, 0));
Log.v("NOTE","Data: "+decryptedData);
As I said though, that doesn't work. Now my question is, is there anybody that can help me make my Java code work with the supplied PHP code as I can't change that (had other code working using different PHP snippets).
Thanks to Duncan in the comments I found out the issue was with my MD5 hash function..
Found a working version for reference:
public String md5(String s) {
if (s != null)
{
try { // Create MD5 Hash
MessageDigest digest = java.security.MessageDigest .getInstance("MD5");
digest.update(s.getBytes());
byte messageDigest[] = digest.digest();
// Create Hex String
StringBuffer hexString = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < messageDigest.length; i++) {
String h = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & messageDigest[i]);
while (h.length() < 2)
h = "0" + h;
hexString.append(h);
}
return hexString.toString();
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "";
}
return "";
}
