Re: Decryptionfailed to bring original text back....

Thanks for the reply, Joe.
Thanks for idea...I would try different approach in converting bytes[] to
string using ASCII, UTF32, Unicode, UTF7, UTF8 to know which of them applies
to all possible keys of text (?$%~`&^*(|\]'"). After I did this, I try using
Hashing in encrypt/decrypt text. I just started learning cryptography. What
is exactly Padding does to encryption/decryption process? The encrypted text
has 40 bits so it will add to fill it up to 64 bits, how about if encrypted
data goes over 64 bits, what happen when you decrypt the encrypted data?

Why do you encode with Unicode and convert back to string with ASCII? That
makes no sense. You have to use the same encoding to go
string->binary->string. Why not also just use UTF8 for both?

Hi everybody,

I am not sure where to put this in this forum. So, I posted this at
several topics. I created a class library that has two public methods
Encrypt() and Decrypt(). I reference this dll to a window application. I
used
DESCryptoServiceProvider Algorithm to encrypt and decrypt then with same
Key
and IV. But unable to decrypt it back to original text. This project I
plan
to use all algorithm and Hash. This is Phase One. There is no problem
ingenerating the Key and IV and at both encrypt and decrypt they are the
same. Can anyone spot the mistake and know how to correct this? Thanks.

[code]

//Generate a Key
private static void GenerateDESKey(DESCryptoServiceProvider
desProv,int keySize,bool maxKeySize)
{
if (Key == null)
{
if (keySize != 0)
desProv.KeySize = keySize;
else
{
KeySizes[] keySizeSets = desProv.LegalKeySizes;
int len = keySizeSets.Length;

for (int x = 0; x < len; x++)
{
if (maxKeySize)
keySize = keySizeSets[0].MaxSize;
else
keySize = keySizeSets[0].MinSize;
}
}
desProv.KeySize = keySize;
desProv.GenerateKey();
Key = desProv.Key;
}
}

//Generate a IV
private static void GenerateDESIV(DESCryptoServiceProvider desProv)
{
if (IV == null)
{
desProv.GenerateIV();
IV = desProv.IV;
}
}

//Encrypting String Data passed as parameter and returns it

{
string strEncrypt = string.Empty;
try

CryptoStream cryptStream;
UnicodeEncoding byteConvert = new UnicodeEncoding();
byte[] byteData = byteConvert.GetBytes(strData);

byte[] encryptedData = { };


if (this.CRYPTOCLASS == Algorithm.DES.ToString())
{
this.CreateDESCrypto();
if (des != null)
{
//Generate Cryptographic Key and saved it
GenerateDESKey(des, keySize, bMaxSize);
//Generate Cryptographic IV and saved it
GenerateDESIV(des);

transform =
des.CreateEncryptor((byte[])Key.Clone(),
(byte[])IV.Clone());
}
}

CryptoStreamMode.Write);

//Call to dispose data

//Convert encrypted bytes[] back to string
strEncrypt = Convert.ToBase64String(encryptedData);

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.WriteAppendLogFile(", Encrypt() " + ex.ToString());
}
return strEncrypt;

Convert.FromBase64String(strEncrypt);
byte[] decryptedData = new Byte[encryptedData.Length];

if (this.CRYPTOCLASS == Algorithm.DES.ToString())
{
this.CreateDESCrypto();
transform = des.CreateDecryptor((byte[])
Key.Clone(),(byte[])IV.Clone());

}
