Java Generate Aes Key From Byte Array

 

Generating a secure AES key? Ask Question. If you want to generate a random key. Browse other questions tagged aes java key-generation or ask your own question. Now the byte array encKey contains the encoded public key bytes. You can use a KeyFactory class in order to instantiate a DSA public key from its encoding. The KeyFactory class provides conversions between opaque keys (of type Key) and key specifications, which are transparent representations of the underlying key material. I am doing AES Key Generation in c# and passing the key generated for AES 128 bit Encryption. The case is while generating the key I am getting byte length as 16. So I am assuming that I did something wrong, and my AES and RSA encryption and decryption classes are insecure. I plan on using them for a larger project, and want to make sure I didn't completely.

Centos generate ssh host keys. Next, VerSig needs to import the encoded public key bytes from the file specified as the first command line argument and to convert them to a PublicKey. A PublicKey is needed because that is what the SignatureinitVerify method requires in order to initialize the Signature object for verification.

  • Dec 31, 2014 Simple AES byte encryption and decryption routines in C# Posted on December 31, 2014 by Guy Bowerman I was looking for some simple examples of using AES symmetric encryption to encrypt and decrypt data in C#.
  • This is the first time I've written a class in Java to do encryption using AES. Since security is involved I would love it if someone could take a look at it and let me.

First, read in the encoded public key bytes.

Java Byte Array Length

Now the byte array encKey contains the encoded public key bytes.

You can use a KeyFactory class in order to instantiate a DSA public key from its encoding. The KeyFactory class provides conversions between opaque keys (of type Key) and key specifications, which are transparent representations of the underlying key material. With an opaque key you can obtain the algorithm name, format name, and encoded key bytes, but not the key material, which, for example, may consist of the key itself and the algorithm parameters used to calculate the key. (Note that PublicKey, because it extends Key, is itself a Key.)

So, first you need a key specification. You can obtain one via the following, assuming that the key was encoded according to the X.509 standard, which is the case, for example, if the key was generated with the built-in DSA key-pair generator supplied by the SUN provider:

Now you need a KeyFactory object to do the conversion. That object must be one that works with DSA keys.

Finally, you can use the KeyFactory object to generate a PublicKey from the key specification.

In cryptography, SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a hash function which generates a unique value for a given data. This unique value (known as hash) has the following properties,

  • It is impossible to arrive at the original message from hash.
  • Two different messages practically cannot have the same hash.
  • Modifying message changes the corresponding hash.
  • It is easy to generate the hash value with the above properties.

These one way hash values are the fundamental building blocks of modern cryptography. One of the popular algorithms for hash generation is SHA. There are a number of variants of SHA algorithms such as SHA-1 and SHA-256. Out of these SHA-1 was the most popular until security vulnerabilities were found in them. Nowadays the recommended hash function for digital security (digital signatures, security certificates etc.) is SHA-256.

Microsoft office enterprise 2010 key generator. The following program shows how to generate SHA256 hash in Java. This program uses the built-in class java.security.MessageDigest for creating the SHA256 hash. Note that the hash output generated is binary data and hence if you try to convert it directly to String, you will get unprintable weird looking characters. Hence usually the bytes are converted to a readable hexadecimal form so that hash values can be printed or send over email. I have used javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter built-in class to convert byte array to a hexadecimal string.
