Generate A Secret Key Using Aes

Greenhorn

For a truly secure key, you need to be using a hardware security module (HSM) to generate and protect the key. HSM manufacturers will typically supply a JCE provider that will do all the key generation for you, using the code above. Generate an AES key plus Initialization vector (iv) with openssl and; how to encode/decode a file with the generated key/iv pair; Note: AES is a symmetric-key algorithm which means it uses the same key during encryption/decryption. Generating key/iv pair. We want to generate a 256-bit key and use. Jul 25, 2008  This application demonstrates how to perform secret encryption using VB.NET and the.NET Framework 3.0. I've put together an encryption demo program that demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt documents using the following encryption methods: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). DO NOT USE THIS KEY FOR YOUR OWN ENCRYPTION ' Create a new.

Symmetric cryptography also known as secret-key encryption is used to encrypt and decrypt data using a single secret key. Warcraft 3 reign of chaos free cd key generator. Same secret key is used to encrypt and decrypt data from both parties, the sender and the receiver. Major symmetric algorithms are AES, DES, RC2, Rijndael, and TripleDES. The actual AES cipher then performs a series of mathematic transformations using the plaintext and the secret key as a starting point. In order, these are: Key expansion. This uses the original secret key to derive a series of new “round keys” using the Rijndael’s key schedule algorithm.

I have written a below program to encrypt a file with AES 128 algorithm. This code works fine. It does encrypt and decrypt file successfully.
Here in this code I am generating SecretKey in the main() method with the use of key generator. But can anybody please tell me how can I generate SecretKey based on user's password in the below program?
Thanks in Advance,

You can use the PBKDF2 algorithm to generate a key from a password; see this answer from a while ago.
Please make sure you use a different, random Initialisation Vector for each password-based key and each message, and save it with the encrypted data. Otherwise each message using the same key and starting with the same data will be encrypted the same, giving attackers a head start.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried copy pasting the code from the thread you mentioned but I got the exception on line
SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance('PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1');
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 not available
at javax.crypto.SunJCE_b.a(DashoA12275)
at javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(DashoA12275)
at ftpserver.AESEncrypter.main(AESEncrypter.java:107)
Can you please tell me what is wrong with my code?
Thanks in Advance,

What version of Java are you using? I believe that algorithm was added with Java 6.

Carey's code snippet from the other thread works just fine for me using the Sun JDK 1.5 and Sun's own built-in JCE provider.

That's the stack trace I get from J2RE 1.4.2. Even if for some reason you can't move to a supported version of Java, it's still a good algorithm, and you should be able to find a compatible version somewhere.

Hey it worked fine I just changed my JRE version.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful program Carey.

Hi, I'm new to encryption. Was wondering how can I store the key or print out the value of the key? Thanks!

encryption keys are binary. They don't print well. You can store them in a file by just writing out the binary bytes, but you can't read or print the binary.
Most folks wrap the binary in a text-based encoding, usually base64 or mime.
