Hello Everybody,,

I have a code of AES encryption and decryption and it works fine for both.

When I separeate the code of AES into two codes, one for encrypt and another for decrypt.
The code of encryption works fine.

I saved output of encryption as String in a variable.
Also I saved key into a variable.

Now, the decryption code works, But it gives me no output(null)!

Here is the code of decryption:


I don't know why it gives me no output!!!

any help please!

I get the following error when I run the code:

javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded

The problem most likely is in the skewed encrypted data, show us also code you are using for encryption.

Here is the full code that works fine for both encryption and decryption:

(*note: instead of using auto generation of key I ask user for a password and I insert it into md5. I take half of hash value and use it as 128bit key for encryption).




here as one code it works fine!
but, when I save the encrypted text and try again to decrypt it it tell me the previous error that I mentioned!

any help please?

I got a solution:

I saved the ciphertext as hexadecimal!

Then at decryption I convert hexadecimal back to byte array and decrypt it,
and it works fine!

So, do you think the problem is I cannot save encrypted text as String??!!

Encrypted data is binary data. It can't be safely stored into a String, as strings expect unicode.

It looks like it was moved to the security forum -- see top. Regardless, you'll have a link in the beginners forum for the next few days to help in regards to this.

Exceuse Henry,,

When I changed the text it gives me the following error:

javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher


any idea?
