Java equivalent of an OpenSSL AES CBC encryption
cryptography, encryption, java, openssl
Solution
Following is a Java program to decrypt the above OPENSSL encryption (it requires Java 8):
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Base64;
import java.util.Base64.Decoder;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
public class TestAesDecrypt {
public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
final byte[] pass = "testpass".getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
final byte[] magic = "Salted__".getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
final String inFile = "e:/t/e.txt";
String source = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(inFile)),
StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
source = source.replaceAll("\\s", "");
final Decoder decoder = Base64.getDecoder();
final byte[] inBytes = decoder.decode(source);
final byte[] shouldBeMagic = Arrays.copyOfRange(inBytes, 0,
magic.length);
if (!Arrays.equals(shouldBeMagic, magic)) {
System.out.println("Bad magic number");
return;
}
final byte[] salt = Arrays.copyOfRange(inBytes, magic.length,
magic.length + 8);
final byte[] passAndSalt = concat(pass, salt);
byte[] hash = new byte[0];
byte[] keyAndIv = new byte[0];
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
final byte[] data = concat(hash, passAndSalt);
final MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
hash = md.digest(data);
keyAndIv = concat(keyAndIv, hash);
}
final byte[] keyValue = Arrays.copyOfRange(keyAndIv, 0, 32);
final byte[] iv = Arrays.copyOfRange(keyAndIv, 32, 48);
final Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
final SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(keyValue, "AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, new IvParameterSpec(iv));
final byte[] clear = cipher.doFinal(inBytes, 16, inBytes.length - 16);
final String clearText = new String(clear, StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1);
System.out.println(clearText);
}
private static byte[] concat(final byte[] a, final byte[] b) {
final byte[] c = new byte[a.length + b.length];
System.arraycopy(a, 0, c, 0, a.length);
System.arraycopy(b, 0, c, a.length, b.length);
return c;
}
}
Problem
I'm not a cryptography profi and specially due to the fact that OpenSSL has lots of missing documentation, I'm not sure how can I solve this problem. I have an external system which expects to receive encrypted messages. The only example provided uses OpenSSL in this way: ``` $ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -in t.txt -k testpass U2FsdGVkX1/RUdaSJKRXhHv3zUyTsQwu5/ar2ECKDlrNyH5GL4xRR4fgxkiWqkS1 cQstcoSIgWfRPSOFj/5OtdNLeNXiVR6MxSKJ+NvS9LyUD8+Rg6XIcYUvxR4gHi3w DWT44LAMCpRAh1Q0t4Z2g7rwb0D05T6ygLaWvB5zD/xGZD3brTqSlWmiJb9Imgda M6soZO7BhbYdqWqEUl5r6+EbkD21f6L3NX3hJFo+BJ+VFctiAlBO8NwT5l4ogo/s GErm8gqRr57XoX/kvKAimg== ``` Where the `t.txt` file contains this string on one line: ``` AMOUNT=10&TID=#19:23&CURRENCY=EUR&LANGUAGE=DE&SUCCESS_URL=http://some.url/sucess&ERROR_URL=http://some.url/error&CONFIRMATION_URL=http://some.url/confirm&NAME=customer full name` ``` I have found this other question and I have been able to do the encryption using following code: ``` String password = "passPhrase"; String salt = "15charRandomSalt"; int iterations = 100; /* Derive the key, given password and salt. */ SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256"); KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF8")), iterations, 256); SecretKey tmp = factory.generateSecret(spec); SecretKey secret = new SecretKeySpec(tmp.getEncoded(), "AES"); /* Encrypt the message. */ Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding"); cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secret); AlgorithmParameters params = cipher.getParameters(); byte[] iv = params.getParameterSpec(IvParameterSpec.class).getIV(); byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(toBeEncrypted.getBytes("UTF-8")); encryptedData = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(cipherText); encryptedData += Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(iv); ``` What I can not understand is how should I generate similar output (encryptedData) to what OpenSSL does. I have the salt, iv and cipherText, is the OpenSSL output Base64 encoded result of a concatenation of these? or only one single of them? The only thing I share with that other system before encryption is the pass phrase. How could they decrypt the result if salt and number of iterations is not known to them? Can somebody give answers to those unknown parameters and also tell me if the above code is the equivalent of OpenSSL process?
