Re: Data encryption

Hi Bruce,

I' m come back to you about this topic.

In the last days i try to play with your example and all seem work fine, but now i' m again lost

I receive from a supplyer the following encrypt data. Dare are encode in base64 encode and encrypted with AES-128 ECB mode .

Key is &E)H@McQfTjWnZr4

I try to

- decode base64

- convert from ascii to ebcdic

- decrypt it

But it's does not work.

I try also

- decode base64

- decrypt it

- convert from ascii to ebcdic

Nothing again.

Have you any idea ?

Thanks a lot for your contribution

I hope that the supplier can provide you with the specifics of their
encryption. The referenced site aes.online-domain-tools.com site is a bit
vague on a few points.

What I needed to do is use hex input for the text and key (as neither were
multiples of 16 bytes), along with specifying the following values:

Input type: Text
Input text (hex) : 48454c4c4f204259204d452020202020
Function: AES
Mode: ECB
Key (hex) : 656e6372797074696f6e206b65790000

The site doesn't mention what text padding it does for AES though on the i
I tried both blank and null padding of the text field, neither of which
generated the same encrypted value the tool did
(x'8c5dacb236d9576289b05e6e58ab94cd'). Using hardcoded text blanks (x'20'
for ASCII) for the input text did work. The site does mention "If you don't
specify a key with permitted length the key is prolonged with the proper
number of null bytes at the end", however I again only found the correct
value being generated when I used hex input of the key (and not just
'encryption key'). I did also find that using text of 'HELLO BY ME12345'
and a key of 'encryption key12' (causing no padding of either element) also
worked, so there's something about the site padding that I'm missing...).
The site also prompts for an initialization vector, which is not supported
by Qc3EncryptData.

The following program did, using eval ASCIIEncTxt, generate the same
'8C5DACB236D9576289B05E6E58AB94CD' value as the tool.

Give me a few minutes and I'll write up a little program mimicking your
website solution. But I can tell you that you have several problems in
regard to the actual file decryption approach.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your support, below my answer


1. Are you using binary when FTPing the file?
No but in any case the issue is present also when i decrypt the text
"HELLO BY ME" and compare it

2. How are you opening the file?
3. What is the CCSID of the system providing the decryption key?
It's a unix system
4. When you say you "convert string from ebcdic to ascii" are you
referring
to the decryption key?
No to the text "HELLO BY ME"
5. How do you detect that the decryption failed? Using debug of the text
or
by examining an output file?

Debug and compare the value with the result of

I have nothing, sorry.

But just curious why the data wasn’t sftp’d to you instead? But I’m sure
I just don’t see the whole picture of what you are working on.

Dear All,

I need to decrypt some text related data coming from a supplier, i


receive the file in an ftp folder read text and decrypt it.



In order to decrypt the information i use Qc3DecryptData (AES OR RC4


alghoritym), unforntunately i encoured in the following problem



First of all let's me say that i was not able to decrypt the data coming


from vendor so i try to understand where the problem was



First of all i have written a program that encrypt and decrypt the


phrase "HELLO BY ME" with key "key encryption" and it's work fine.



I compare the result with the one coming from the following url

http://rc4.online-domain-tools.com/

and the two values doesn't match.

So my first assumption was that there is a difference beetwen ebcdic and


ascii transcodification so i try to



- convert string from ebcdic to ascii

- run encryption

but again the two values doesn't match

Anyone can direct me ? any idea ?


Thanks to All


Basilio
