I have tried to encrypt some plaintext, which is in bytes, with a key, which is in bytes. However, the output I am getting is not what I am expecting.



public class AES {


public static byte encrypt(byte plainText, byte key) {
try {
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
SecretKeySpec secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKey);
byte cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainText);
return cipherText;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

public static String byteToHex(byte hash) {

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(hash.length * 2);
for (byte b : hash) {
sb.append(String.format("%02x", b));
}
return sb.toString();
}


public static void main(String args) {

byte plaintext = {0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55,0x66,0x77,0x58,0x63,(byte)0xaa,(byte)0xbb,(byte)0xcc,(byte)0xdd,(byte)0xee,(byte)0xff};
byte key = {0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x0a,0x0b,0x0c,0x0d,0x0e,0x0f};


byte encrypted = encrypt(plaintext, key);
System.out.println("Encrypted String : " + byteToHex(encrypted));

}
}


The output I am getting is: 814064943fe05668da1f3d2269a4ee22954f64f2e4e86e9eee82d20216684899 while I am expecting 69c4e0d86a7b0430d8cdb78070b4c55a. I am using the plaintext and key from here

  • Do you understand what PKCS5 padding does? A hint: I will always make the result longer. So an input of 16 bytes can never result in an output of 16 bytes.

  • The default padding mode of your AES provider is most likely "PKCS5". So you haven't changed anything... Read about it and you have a good idea why your result is different.

  • Have read about it, and I found out that I had to use NoPadding, which has given me the proper format. However, I am still getting the incorrect output.

There are two things incorrect in your code.




  1. You use PKCS5 padding while the original example doesn't use any padding.


  2. You incorrectly copied the plain text.



So:



Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/NoPadding");

...

byte plaintext = { 0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66, 0x77, (byte) 0x88,
(byte) 0x99, (byte) 0xaa, (byte) 0xbb, (byte) 0xcc, (byte) 0xdd, (byte) 0xee, (byte) 0xff };


Result:



Encrypted String : 69c4e0d86a7b0430d8cdb78070b4c55a
