I am able to encrypt an SMS and send it from one simulator (Android 2.2) to another. On the receiving end I am able to do the decryption successfully. But the problem is if do the encryption in one OS version (i.e Android 2.2) and trying to decrypt in another OS version ( Android 2.3 ) i am getting 'Bad padding exception'. I checked that i used the same key on both ends. The code is shown below
public class ED {
private String Key;
public ED() {
Key = "abc12"; // Assigning default key.
}
public ED(String key) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
Key = key;
}
public String encrypt(String toEncrypt) throws Exception {
byte[] rawKey = getRawKey(Key.getBytes("UTF-8"));
byte[] result = encrypt(rawKey, toEncrypt.getBytes("UTF-8"));
return toHex(result);
}
public byte[] encrypt(byte[] key, byte[] toEncodeString) throws Exception {
SecretKeySpec sKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, sKeySpec);
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(toEncodeString);
return encrypted;
}
private byte[] getRawKey(byte[] key) throws Exception {
KeyGenerator kGen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
SecureRandom sr = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");
sr.setSeed(key);
kGen.init(128, sr);
SecretKey sKey = kGen.generateKey();
byte[] raw = sKey.getEncoded();
return raw;
}
/************************************* Decription *********************************************/
public String decrypt(String encryptedString) throws Exception {
byte[] rawKey = getRawKey(Key.getBytes("UTF-8"));
System.out.println("Decrypted Key in bytes : "+rawKey);
System.out.println("Key in decryption :"+rawKey);
SecretKeySpec sKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(rawKey, "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, sKeySpec);
byte[] decrypted = cipher.doFinal(toByte(encryptedString));
System.out.println("Decrypted mess in bytes---------->" +decrypted);
return new String(decrypted);
}
public String toHex(byte[] buf) {
if (buf == null)
return "";
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(2*buf.length);
for (int i = 0; i < buf.length; i++) {
appendHex(result, buf[i]);
}
return result.toString();
}
private final String HEX = "0123456789ABCDEF";
private void appendHex(StringBuffer sb, byte b) {
sb.append(HEX.charAt((b>>4)&0x0f)).append(HEX.charAt(b&0x0f));
}
public byte[] toByte(String hexString) {
int len = hexString.length()/2;
byte[] result = new byte[len];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
result[i] = Integer.valueOf(hexString.substring(2*i, 2*i+2), 16).byteValue();
return result;
}
}
And I am using sendTextMessage() function to send an sms. I read that encryption/decryption doesn't depend on OS but in this case that is not true. Am I missing any important things while configuring the Cipher (in AES) ? Please let me know.
