PHP and JAVA encryption and decryption routines… here is a solution to the problem.
PHP and JAVA encryption and decryption routines
I have the following PHP routine to encrypt my communication with the client:
public static function encrypt($input, $key) {
$size = mcrypt_get_block_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
$input = AES::pkcs5_pad($input, $size);
$td = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, '', MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, '');
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_RAND);
mcrypt_generic_init($td, $key, $iv);
$data = mcrypt_generic($td, $input);
mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
mcrypt_module_close($td);
$data = base64_encode($data);
return $data;
}
and the following Java rotuine to decrypt my communication with the server:
public static String decrypt(String input, String key) {
byte[] output = null;
try {
SecretKeySpec skey = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skey);
output = cipher.doFinal(Base64.decode(input,Base64.NO_WRAP));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
return new String(output);
}
Why does the decryption routine below throw an exception?
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bad base-64
EDIT: After hardcoding the string into the code, I get a BadPaddingException.
My decryption function input:

Solution
You may need to use:
Base64.decode(input,Base64.NO_WRAP| Base64.URL_SAFE)
You may also need different combinations of logos.
It also depends on how you get the base64 string. If transmitted from a URL or other online source, sometimes “+” translates to “” (spaces).
