Re: Removing blanks from a varning length field. -- RPG400-L

......
....XML file in my previous email ,so could it be confirmed whether putting
these below changes will take care of all future junk values(DLEs etc.)
which might come in the decrypted value?
or some other error handling conditions we need to incorporate in this
code to take care of such unforeseen DLEs or some other junk values?
pos2 = %scan(x'10' :record);
Record = %subst(Record :1 :(Pos2 - 1));

...Also as we did not know that how the data was encrypted so we could not
use Qc3DecryptData API here but as per experts on this forum i would like
to confirm one again since we don't know how the data is encrypted
so we can not use Qc3DecryptData API to decrypt it using AES128 algorithm
neither we can use sql decrypt function due to it's limits also as we have
used openssl here and saw these DLEs here so shared XML file here as well
considering possibility data itself is junk or having DLEs inside in it so
could you please confirm whether it's XML issue only now?
If yes ,then what above said changes we have incorporated in our program
then it should be sufficient enough to handle all those DLEs errors

Thanks much...

Thanks

The above does NOT represent the changes suggested in my previous reply.
I
would have expected to see something like

...-K ' + KEY + ' -nopad...

The provided text still has the key value as a literal.

You have confirmed that the XML file contains the "extra" 16 bytes.
Who/what provided this value? This line indicates to ship those 16 bytes,
which are being decoded and decrypted into DLEs. From what I can see
everything is working just like one would expect given this source...

End the quoted string prior to KEY and then resume it following KEY

As for the DLEs, again I have to, based on provided information,

assume

the

XML file is the source -- that is, whoever is writing/construction the

XML.

i was expecting like it took encodedexchangetoken field value from

that

xml file using xml into builtin function and showing it's value in
encodedexchangetoken field.
but when i read file in my code it does not pick the key field's

value

from

this below code i am just wondering how can i pass key field's

openssl command rather than hardcoding inside my program.

Ok, thanks for these details,

Is it possible not to hardcode the key value used here and use it

as

a

variable field like field of some file etc.so that each time once

key

is

changed we may not have to change the program code and do not

need to

recompile it?
Also in input XML we were not focused on other field's only target

was

just to fetch this 'encodedexchangetoken' field out of that XML

file

and

whatever data comes inside this field that should have been

decrypted

using

AES 128 Algorithm so far this program seems to be working fine

only

thing i

was worried because of DLEs but could there be some more junk

values

might

come like these DLEs in decrypted value, Which currently we can't

imagine

and låter on this program might crash as we have not thought of or

have

not

considered handling regarding those probable junk values (Or so

called

some other type of DLEs etc.) as of now?

Thanks much.....

I did not get around to actually trying out Qc3DecryptData.

Yesterday the DLEs in the debug eval of record really told me

all I

needed

to know. This morning I looked more at the debug eval
of encodedExchangeToken, saw the leading x'0058' and realized you

had

it

defined as varying length. That value tells me that XML-INTO

returned

88

bytes and the -base64 argument to enc told me it was base64

indicating

the

actual length received (based64 decoded) was 66 bytes with two

trailing

pad
characters (the == from record) leaving 64 "real" bytes. The

last

16

bytes
(the DLEs) then must have been in the original stream (OK, maybe

AES

decryption and base64 decoding uses DLEs for errors or somesuch

though

I've
never seen that behavior or found it documented). In any case

"someone"

is
adding 16 bytes to encodedExchangeToken prior to your receiving

it

with

XML-INTO. As you did not provide the XML file (as requested

with 8.

Post

the contents of /home/I0RS01HU/INPUT.xml) I'm assuming it's

there in

the

file and that XML-INTO didn't add it (an add which I've never

seen

and I

have played with it, XML-INTO, in the past).

As you now have it working with openssl enc I wouldn't bother

changing.

Personally I use the i cryptographic APIs (but I'm also somewhat

biased

when it comes to system APIs) when doing development.

When the SQL encrypt and decrypt functions first came out I did

take a

quick look at them and immediately saw that there were a whole

lot

of

features (that I sometimes use) that the SQL interfaces do not

support.

So
I would not use them unless forced to -- meaning that someone was

sending

me data encrypted using say ENCRYPT_AES. To date I have never

run

into

that situation.

I do however wonder why base64 is being used as it appears to be

text

data

being exchanged (with the exception of the DLEs) and what padding

might

be

done if say the "real" data was only 45 bytes rather than a

multiple

of

16

such as 48.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

How could we say or conclude so because whenever i

interactively

call

openssl command the same DLE seems to be coming that time as

well

in

the

result of pase ?

so does this mean xml itself is faulty i mean the value which

is

supplied

in XML (specially data in that encodedexchangetoken field in

that

XML

file

itself is faulty ?)

secondly were you able to run that 'Qc3DecryptData' API program
successfully could you please share your program example for

current

case

as i tried to use Qc3DecryptData API for same decryption

(Using

AES128

Algorithm) but it did not work because i did not know how the

data

was

encrypted only decryption thing i was focused on, as i did not

know

how

the

data was encoded so may be those sql encrypt and decrypt

function

also

did

not work for this case also when you would have used that

Qc3DecryptData

API was your program capable to handle each time different XML

files

data

like the one which i shared was having XML into kind of builtin

functions

so it was capable to handle those different XMLs.
1) If same decrypted value could be achived using

Qc3DecryptData'

API

Could you please share that program code example ?

2) Can same result be achieved using SQL Decrypt function as

well

if

yes

then could you please share that as well?

3) Which way should be best technically among of all these 3

approaches

in case same decrypted value could be achieved using openssl,
Qc3DecryptData API,SQL Decrypt function ?

Thanks much...
