I did some encryption using PHP in my Database and would normally decrypt using:
$encrypt_method = "AES-256-CBC";
$secret_key = "testing";
$secret_iv = "testingyes!!!";
$key = hash('sha256', $secret_key); // hash the key
$iv = substr(hash('sha256', $secret_iv), 0, 16); // iv - encrypt method AES-256-CBC expects 16 bytes - else you will get a warning
echo(openssl_decrypt(base64_decode($data), $encrypt_method, $key, 0, $iv)); // the decrypted data
I'm trying to do the same task but with C# 2013 to decrypt the same data, any ideas?
I would encrypt in php using:
$encrypt_method = "AES-256-CBC";
$secret_key = "testing";
$secret_iv = "testingyes!!!";
$key = hash('sha256', $secret_key); // hash the key
$iv = substr(hash('sha256', $secret_iv), 0, 16); // iv - encrypt method AES-256-CBC expects 16 bytes - else you will get a warning
echo(base64_encode(openssl_encrypt($data, $encrypt_method, $key, 0, $iv))); // the encrypted data
encrypting: this is a test
gives: d0EzQ2MvMHkxRks2cXg5NkFkK2twZz09=
I tried this in C#:
public static String sha256_hash(String value)
{
StringBuilder Sb = new StringBuilder();
using (SHA256 hash = SHA256Managed.Create())
{
Encoding enc = Encoding.UTF8;
Byte[] result = hash.ComputeHash(enc.GetBytes(value));
foreach (Byte b in result)
Sb.Append(b.ToString("x2"));
}
return Sb.ToString();
}
private static String AES_decrypt(String Input)
{
RijndaelManaged aes = new RijndaelManaged();
aes.KeySize = 256;
aes.BlockSize = 256;
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
aes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
aes.Key = Convert.FromBase64String(sha256_hash("testing"));
aes.IV = Convert.FromBase64String(sha256_hash("testingyes!!!").Substring(0, 16));
var decrypt = aes.CreateDecryptor();
byte[] xBuff = null;
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var cs = new CryptoStream(ms, decrypt, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
byte[] xXml = Convert.FromBase64String(Input);
cs.Write(xXml, 0, xXml.Length);
}
xBuff = ms.ToArray();
}
String Output = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(xBuff);
return Output;
}
string cipherData = "d0EzQ2MvMHkxRks2cXg5NkFkK2twZz09=";
string f = AES_decrypt(cipherData);
Console.Write(f);
But I'm getting error: specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm
However the key I'm using is working when I use PHP
Talk1:
Maybe a stupid question but before I'm going to help you. Why do you want to decrypt the data?
Talk2:
I have some encrypted configuration data in the Database I need to read into a window service coded with C#
Talk3:
.Rattansingh Do you want to get the hashed value back or the key?
Talk4:
I'm trying to decrypt d0EzQ2MvMHkxRks2cXg5NkFkK2twZz09= with AES-256-CBC and with using the key and iv hashed as above. The encryption algorithm is not hashed, it just accepts a hashed key & iv
Talk5:
in php, its openssl_decrypt that's performing the encryption using the hashed keys
Solutions1RijndaelManaged aes = new RijndaelManaged();
aes.KeySize = 256;
aes.BlockSize = 256;
Block size should be 128 to be compatible with AES-256-CBC.
Rijndael supports variable block sizes - AES does not.
Talk1:
changed it but still getting the error on the line: aes.Key = Convert.FromBase64String(sha256_hash("testing")); CryptographicException, specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm
