I need to take working JavaScript that decrypts a message and convert it into C#. I have the decryption information (the "decrypt" variable below) which looks like: AES-128:<salt>:<iv>:<key>. Here's the JavaScript:
function decodeString(message, decrypt) {
var parts = decrypt.split(':', 4);
var salt = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(parts[1]);
var iv = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(parts[2]);
var key = CryptoJS.PBKDF2(parts[3], salt, { keySize: 128/32, iterations: 100 });
try {
message = message.replace(/\s+/g, '');
var d = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(message, key, { iv: iv, mode: CryptoJS.mode.CBC, padding: CryptoJS.pad.Pkcs7 });
message = d.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
} catch (e) {
console.error("Encountered a problem decrypting and encrypted page!");
console.log(e);
}
return(message);
}
Here's what I have in C#, but I get an exception on the CreateDecryptor call.
using System.Security.Cryptography;
private string DecodeString(string message, string decrypt)
{
string[] parts = decrypt.ToString().Split(':');
byte[] salt = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(parts[1]);
byte[] iv = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(parts[2]);
var pbkdf2 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(parts[3], salt, 100);
int numKeyBytes = 128; // Not sure this is correct
byte[] key = pbkdf2.GetBytes(numKeyBytes);
string plainText = null;
using (AesManaged aes = new AesManaged())
{
aes.KeySize = numKeyBytes; // Not sure if this is correct
aes.BlockSize = 128; // Defaults to 128, but not sure this is correct
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
aes.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
try
{
// The below line has the following exception:
// The specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm.
// Parameter name: key
using (var decrypter = aes.CreateDecryptor(key, iv))
using (var plainTextStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var decrypterStream = new CryptoStream(plainTextStream, decrypter, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
using (var binaryWriter = new BinaryWriter(decrypterStream))
{
string encryptedText = Regex.Replace(message, #"\s+", "");
binaryWriter.Write(encryptedText);
}
byte[] plainTextBytes = plainTextStream.ToArray();
plainText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plainTextBytes);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.Error("Unable to decrypt message.", ex);
}
return plainText;
}
}
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
In the C# code there are the following issues:
Salt and IV must be hex decoded (and not UTF8 encoded).
numKeyBytes specifies the key size in bytes and is therefore 16 (and not 128) for AES-128.
aes.KeySize specifies the key size in bits and is therefore numKeyBytes * 8 (and not numKeyBytes), but can alternatively be omitted.
For aes.BlockSize, aes.Mode and aes.Padding the default values are used (128, CBC, PKCS7), so they do not need to be specified explicitly.
encryptedText must be Base64 decoded.
A possible implementation is:
private string Decrypt(string message, string decrypt)
{
string[] parts = decrypt.ToString().Split(':');
byte[] salt = StringToByteArray(parts[1]); // Hex decode salt
byte[] iv = StringToByteArray(parts[2]); // Hex dedoce IV
var pbkdf2 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(parts[3], salt, 100);
int numKeyBytes = 16; // AES-128 key size in bytes: 16
byte[] key = pbkdf2.GetBytes(numKeyBytes);
string plainText = null;
using (AesManaged aes = new AesManaged())
{
aes.KeySize = 192;
try
{
string encryptedText = Regex.Replace(message, #"\s+", "");
using (var decrypter = aes.CreateDecryptor(key, iv))
using (MemoryStream msDecrypt = new MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(encryptedText))) // Base64 decode ciphertext
{
using (CryptoStream csDecrypt = new CryptoStream(msDecrypt, decrypter, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
{
using (StreamReader srDecrypt = new StreamReader(csDecrypt))
{
plainText = srDecrypt.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Unable to decrypt message.", ex);
}
return plainText;
}
}
where StringToByteArray() is from here.
I changed the Stream part to be analogous to this example, but the original implementation works as well, so this change is optional.
Test: Both codes return for the data
message = "YhyXEjjNAnRUUONwVzlha59tRoWkeEwTkOtSKOicRd/iBKkGgIp+DeWmvEXxAU53";
decrypt = "AES-128:30313233343536373839303132333435:35343332313039383736353433323130:my passphrase";
the plaintext:

I'm not sure I fully understand the extent of your question, but if it is as simple as it appears to be, you could always Ctrl-F to find the key in the C# code. It's the line that starts with var keybytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("80...
However, the code that you have isn't going to do what you want. It is insecure and easily broken (since the key is literally in the code). Your lack of understanding of cryptography in general is also going to limit your ability to create the solution I think you are envisioning.
Some advice:
If you want to use a password, you need to understand that this is fundamentally different from a key. Use a KDF to derive a key from a password. PBKDF2 is good.
Don't use a fixed IV. If the IV remains the same then you compromise the encryption. It should be different every time you encrypt. It doesn't need to be secret at all, just different.
Use an authenticated mode if you can (GCM), otherwise use an HMAC to authenticate your ciphertext. If you don't do this, anyone can change the contents of the file (even if it is encrypted) and you won't know that this has happened.
I recommend you view the examples in this repository. There are examples for both C# and browser JavaScript.
I am trying to write two classes in C# and Javascript which I can use throughout my project to encrypt or decrypt data using AES when data is exchanged.
Using AES I am embedding the Salt (32 bytes) and IV (16 bytes) in the encrypted result, this works fine for both classes individually when testing. Adding the Salt and IV to the mix doesn't bring up a lot of references to get this working between the two platforms.
For C# I am using the standard System.Security.Crypthography.AES

var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(msg, key, {

// salt, iv will be hex 32 in length
// append them to the ciphertext for use in decryption
var transitmessage = salt + iv + encrypted;
return transitmessage.toString();
}

var salt = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(transitmessage.substr(0, 64));
var iv = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(transitmessage.substr(64, 32));

The outcome should be Hello World
Both solutions work well within their own environment, however the C# or Javascript hashes can't be exchanged, they will not decrypt. My guess is that the character encoding has something to do with it, hence why the base64 sizes differ so much. Does anyone have a idea to get this working together? Thanks!
The error was in the Javascript code, the first part was Hex while the end was the encrypted result in Base64.
The following Javascript code makes the AES results interchangeable with the C# solution provided above. I had some difficulties making sure that all the results where properly encoded and decoded in Hex, so there are some new functions.
var keySize = 256;
var ivSize = 128;
var saltSize = 256;
var iterations = 1000;
var message = "Does this work?";
var password = "Secret Password";
function encrypt (msg, pass) {
var salt = CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.random(saltSize/8);
var key = CryptoJS.PBKDF2(pass, salt, {
keySize: keySize/32,
iterations: iterations
});
var iv = CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.random(ivSize/8);
var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(msg, key, {
iv: iv,
padding: CryptoJS.pad.Pkcs7,
mode: CryptoJS.mode.CBC
});
var encryptedHex = base64ToHex(encrypted.toString());
var base64result = hexToBase64(salt + iv + encryptedHex);
return base64result;
}
function decrypt (transitmessage, pass) {
var hexResult = base64ToHex(transitmessage)
var salt = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(hexResult.substr(0, 64));
var iv = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(hexResult.substr(64, 32));
var encrypted = hexToBase64(hexResult.substring(96));
var key = CryptoJS.PBKDF2(pass, salt, {
keySize: keySize/32,
iterations: iterations
});
var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(encrypted, key, {
iv: iv,
padding: CryptoJS.pad.Pkcs7,
mode: CryptoJS.mode.CBC
})
return decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
}
function hexToBase64(str) {
return btoa(String.fromCharCode.apply(null,
str.replace(/\r|\n/g, "").replace(/([\da-fA-F]{2}) ?/g, "0x$1 ").replace(/ +$/, "").split(" "))
);
}
function base64ToHex(str) {
for (var i = 0, bin = atob(str.replace(/[ \r\n]+$/, "")), hex = []; i < bin.length; ++i) {
var tmp = bin.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
if (tmp.length === 1) tmp = "0" + tmp;
hex[hex.length] = tmp;
}
return hex.join("");
}
You are using Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode with a random IV (correct way).
Indirectly the IV will affect every plaintext block before the encryption.
Therefore comparing the content of the encrypted data will not help you here.
The length of the encrypted data is also different. I assume this is because the CryptoJS.lib.WordArray will be printed in hex.
Therefore You are getting seed and IV in hex encoding and the encrypted message in base64 encoding.
On C# side there is only one base64 encoded result containing everything.
In general plain CBC mode is no longer state-of-the-art encryption (e.g. for TLS1.3 alls ciphers with AES-CBC has been removed). Under certain conditions it may allows certain attacks (e.g. padding oracle attack). Therefore I would recommend to use an authenticating cipher mode like GCM mode instead.
Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.

The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:

As of the time of this post, the current list includes:

TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.
Look at sample in here..
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rijndaelmanaged(v=VS.100).aspx#Y2262
The example on MSDN does not run normally (an error occurs) because there is no initial value of Initial Vector(iv) and Key. I add 2 line code and now work normally.

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.
For a more complete example that performs key derivation in addition to the AES encryption, see the answer and links posted in Getting AES encryption to work across Javascript and C#.
EDIT
a side note: Javascript Cryptography considered harmful. Worth the read.

Try this code, maybe useful.
1.Create New C# Project and add follows code to Form1:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
namespace ExampleCrypto
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strOriginalData = string.Empty;
string strEncryptedData = string.Empty;
string strDecryptedData = string.Empty;
strOriginalData = "this is original data 1234567890"; // your original data in here
MessageBox.Show("ORIGINAL DATA:\r\n" + strOriginalData);
clsCrypto aes = new clsCrypto();
aes.IV = "this is your IV"; // your IV
aes.KEY = "this is your KEY"; // your KEY
strEncryptedData = aes.Encrypt(strOriginalData, CipherMode.CBC); // your cipher mode
MessageBox.Show("ENCRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strEncryptedData);
strDecryptedData = aes.Decrypt(strEncryptedData, CipherMode.CBC);
MessageBox.Show("DECRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strDecryptedData);
