TripleDES Java Encryprion to Javascript Decryption

I am using Java to encrypt a text payload with Triple DES. First I create an ephemeral key that I will use for encrypting the payload:
private byte[] createEphemeralKey() throws Exception {
KeyGenerator keygen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DESede");
keygen.init(168);
return keygen.generateKey().getEncoded();
}
Then I encrypt my payload with said key:
private String encryptTripleDES(byte[] ephemeralKey, String payload) throws Exception {
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/ECB/NoPadding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(ephemeralKey, "DESede"));
byte[] plainTextBytes = payload.getBytes();
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainTextBytes);
return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(cipherText);
}
Also need a padding function to ensure the data length is divisable by 8:
private String adjustPadding(String input, int blockSize) {
int len = input.length() % blockSize;
int paddingLength = (len == 0) ? 0 : (blockSize - len);
while (paddingLength > 0) {
input += "F";
paddingLength--;
}
return input;
}
And here is my process end to end:
String data = "Marnus"
byte[] = ephemeralKey = createEphemeralKey();
String adjustedData = adjustPadding (data,8);
String encryptedPayload = encryptTripleDES(ephemeralKey, adjustedData);
String encodedKey = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(ephemeralKey)
So I take the 2 variables encryptedPayload and encodedKey, that are both Base64 encoded string, and send it off via HTTP to node express app.
In the Javascript side of things, I use node-forge - Here is the part of my express app that does the decryption:
let nodeBuffer = Buffer.from(data, 'base64')
let input = forge.util.createBuffer(nodeBuffer.toString('binary'))
// 3DES key and IV sizes
let keySize = 24;
let ivSize = 8;
let derivedBytes = forge.pbe.opensslDeriveBytes(ephemeralKey, null, keySize + ivSize);
let buffer = forge.util.createBuffer(derivedBytes);
let key = buffer.getBytes(keySize)
let iv = buffer.getBytes(ivSize)
let decipher = forge.cipher.createDecipher('3DES-ECB', key)
decipher.start({iv: iv})
decipher.update(input)
console.log('decipher result', decipher.finish())
let decryptedResult = decipher.output.data;
Here is an Triples DES example in the node-forge docs:
A few notes:
I create a node-forge buffer from a regular buffer since I don't have a input file like the examples gives. Here is how the docs states one should create one buffer from the other:
*I use base64 as that is what I used in the java side to encode the data that was sent.
Then, I dont have a salt so I left the 2'nd param null in opensslDeriveBytes as specified in the docs I should do.
Thirdly, I am also not sure if my keysize of 24 is correct?
My results
So doing an end to end test yields the following:
In my Java app, the test data was "Marnus", the encryptedPayload was ez+RweSAd+4= and the encodedKey was vCD9mBnWHPEBiQ0BGv7gc6GUCOoBgLCu.
Then in my javascript code data was obviously ez+RweSAd+4=(encryptedPayload) and the ephemeralKey was vCD9mBnWHPEBiQ0BGv7gc6GUCOoBgLCu(encodedKey).
After the decryption ran, the value of decryptedResult was ©ýÕ?µ{', which is obviously just garbage since it was not encoded yet, but I cant figure out which encoding to use?
I tried using forge.util.encode64(decipher.output.data), but that just gave me qf3VP7UYeyc=, which is not right.
For what it's worth, here is the type that decipher.output

With a lot more tweaking and testing different options, I got it working - and the good news is I managed to get it all working with the built in crypto library in nodejs (v12.18.4).
First things first, the JAVA side just needs a change to the key size (from 168 to 112), the rest remains the same - see below example as one single method (should be split up in final implementation of course for testability and usability):
//Some data:
String payload = "{\"data\":\"somedata\"}";
// Create Key
KeyGenerator keygen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DESede");
keygen.init(112);
byte[] ephemeralKey = keygen.generateKey().getEncoded();
// Adjust the data, see adjustPadding method in the question for details.
String data = adjustPadding (payload,8);
// Wil now be "{"data":"somedata"}FFFFF", can just chop off extra in JS if need be. When sending JSON one knows the end of the object will always be "}"
// Do Encrypt
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/ECB/NoPadding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(ephemeralKey, "DESede"));
byte[] plainTextBytes = data.getBytes();
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainTextBytes);
String encryptedPayload = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(cipherText);
//Lastly, Base64 the key so you can transport it too
String encodedKey = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(ephemeralKey)
on the Javascript side of things we keep it simple:
// I'm using TS, so change the import if you do plain JS
import crypto = require('crypto')
//need bytes from the base64 payload
let buff = Buffer.from(ephemeralKey, 'base64')
const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('des-ede3', buff, null)
decipher.setAutoPadding(false)
let decrypted = decipher.update(data, 'base64', 'utf8')
decrypted += decipher.final('utf8')
console.log(decrypted)
//{"data":"somedata"}FFFFF"

Using CryptoJS to encrypt and Aes Manager to decrypt

I am using CryptoJS to encrypt a message and send it to the server, and decrypting it on the other end in C# using Aes Manager. I get a response back when I send it to the server, but it isn't correct.
Javascript:
this.CryptoJS=require("crypto-js");
var temp=this.CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("hello","yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyykey",{
keySize:128/8,
iv:this.CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse("helllooohelllooo"),
mode:this.CryptoJS.mode.CBC,
padding:this.CryptoJS.pad.ZeroPadding
});
data.text=temp.toString(); // This is how I send it to the server
C#:
byte[] Key = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyykey");
byte[] toBytes = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("helllooohelllooo");
AesManaged aes = new AesManaged();
aes.Key = Key;
aes.IV = toBytes;
aes.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
aes.KeySize = 128;
aes.BlockSize = 128;
byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(data.text);
UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = aes.CreateDecryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV))
{
MemoryStream MS = new MemoryStream(bytes);
CryptoStream CS = new CryptoStream(MS, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
CS.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
CS.FlushFinalBlock();
MS.Position = 0;
bytes = new byte[MS.Length];
MS.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
Plaintext = utf8.GetString(bytes);
var temp = 5;
}
This is what I get as a result from the Plaintext variable: t�k�\a``\u007f������\f^,F~\u0017�\u001fp��#5�\u007f\\

You should explicitly pass the key, plaintext and IV as binary data rather than strings:
let iv = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse("helllooohelllooo");
let pt = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse("hello");
let key = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse("yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyykey");
Then use in the code like so:
CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(pt, key, ...);
Note that your use of zero padding, fixed IV, and no HMAC or AEAD mode makes the code you have completely insecure. You definitely should not use it. Consult this GitHub repository for examples of secure encryption between JavaScript and C#.

I was able to fix my problem i was not converting the original key to utf8 and once i did that it fixed itself

Encrypt in VB.NET Rijndael Managed and Decrypt in Javascript CryptoJS

I'm making an app that has to decrypt QRs and well... It doesn't, because i get the QR string but i cannot decrypt it.
I'm using this encryption method in VB.NET, and it works perfectly when i read an decrypt from VB.NET:
Private Function GetCodedQR(ByVal str As String) As String
Dim sToEncrypt As String = str
Dim encrypted() As Byte
' Create an Rijndael object
' with the specified key and IV.
Using rijAlg = Rijndael.Create()
rijAlg.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros
rijAlg.Mode = CipherMode.CBC
rijAlg.KeySize = 256
rijAlg.BlockSize = 256
rijAlg.Key = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("12345678912345678912345678912345")
rijAlg.IV = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("123452hheeyy66#cs!9hjv887mxx7#8y")
' Create an encryptor to perform the stream transform.
Dim encryptor As ICryptoTransform = rijAlg.CreateEncryptor(rijAlg.Key, rijAlg.IV)
' Create the streams used for encryption.
Using msEncrypt As New MemoryStream()
Using csEncrypt As New CryptoStream(msEncrypt, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)
Using swEncrypt As New StreamWriter(csEncrypt)
'Write all data to the stream.
swEncrypt.Write(sToEncrypt)
End Using
encrypted = msEncrypt.ToArray()
End Using
End Using
End Using
sToEncrypt = Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted)
Return sToEncrypt
End Function
But when im using JS (CryptoJS) to decrypt the message it just dont work!
var iv = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse('123452hheeyy66#cs!9hjv887mxx7#8y');
var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(encrypted, '12345678912345678912345678912345', { iv: iv, mode: CryptoJS.mode.CBC, padding: CryptoJS.pad.ZeroPadding });
Please help me I'm doing my best but JS is not my thing.

How to decrypt password from JavaScript CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(password, passphrase) in Python

I have a password which is encrypt from JavaScript via
var password = 'sample'
var passphrase ='sample_passphrase'
CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(password, passphrase)
Then I tried to decrypt the password comes from JavaScript in Python:
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
import base64
PADDING = '\0'
pad_it = lambda s: s+(16 - len(s)%16)*PADDING
key = 'sample_passphrase'
iv='11.0.0.101' #------> here is my question, how can I get this iv to restore password, what should I put here?
key=pad_it(key) #------> should I add padding to keys and iv?
iv=pad_it(iv) ##
source = 'sample'
generator = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CFB,iv)
crypt = generator.encrypt(pad_it(source))
cryptedStr = base64.b64encode(crypt)
print cryptedStr
generator = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC,iv)
recovery = generator.decrypt(crypt)
print recovery.rstrip(PADDING)
I checked JS from browser console, it shows IV in CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(password, passphrase) is a object with some attributes( like sigBytes:16, words: [-44073646, -1300128421, 1939444916, 881316061]). It seems generated randomly.
From one web page, it tells me that JS has two way to encrypt password
(reference link ):
a. crypto.createCipher(algorithm, password)
b. crypto.createCipheriv(algorithm, key, iv)
What I saw in JavaScript should be option a. However, only option b is equivalent to AES.new() in python.
The questions are:
How can I restore this password in Python without changing JavaScript code?
If I need IV in Python, how can I get it from the password that is used in JavaScript?

You will have to implement OpenSSL's EVP_BytesToKey, because that is what CryptoJS uses to derive the key and IV from the provided password, but pyCrypto only supports the key+IV type encryption. CryptoJS also generates a random salt which also must be send to the server. If the ciphertext object is converted to a string, then it uses automatically an OpenSSL-compatible format which includes the random salt.
var data = "Some semi-long text for testing";
var password = "some password";
var ctObj = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(data, password);
var ctStr = ctObj.toString();
out.innerHTML = ctStr;
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/CryptoStore/crypto-js/3.1.2/build/rollups/aes.js"></script>
<div id="out"></div>
Possible output:
U2FsdGVkX1+ATH716DgsfPGjzmvhr+7+pzYfUzR+25u0D7Z5Lw04IJ+LmvPXJMpz
CryptoJS defaults to 256 bit key size for AES, PKCS#7 padding and CBC mode. AES has a 128 bit block size which is also the IV size. This means that we have to request 32+16 = 48 byte from EVP_BytesToKey. I've found a semi-functional implementation here and extended it further.
Here is the full Python (tested with 2.7 and 3.4) code, which is compatible with CryptoJS:
from Cryptodome import Random
from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES
import base64
from hashlib import md5
BLOCK_SIZE = 16
def pad(data):
length = BLOCK_SIZE - (len(data) % BLOCK_SIZE)
return data + (chr(length)*length).encode()
def unpad(data):
return data[:-(data[-1] if type(data[-1]) == int else ord(data[-1]))]
def bytes_to_key(data, salt, output=48):
# extended from https://gist.github.com/gsakkis/4546068
assert len(salt) == 8, len(salt)
data += salt
key = md5(data).digest()
final_key = key
while len(final_key) < output:
key = md5(key + data).digest()
final_key += key
return final_key[:output]
def encrypt(message, passphrase):
salt = Random.new().read(8)
key_iv = bytes_to_key(passphrase, salt, 32+16)
key = key_iv[:32]
iv = key_iv[32:]
aes = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv)
return base64.b64encode(b"Salted__" + salt + aes.encrypt(pad(message)))
def decrypt(encrypted, passphrase):
encrypted = base64.b64decode(encrypted)
assert encrypted[0:8] == b"Salted__"
salt = encrypted[8:16]
key_iv = bytes_to_key(passphrase, salt, 32+16)
key = key_iv[:32]
iv = key_iv[32:]
aes = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv)
return unpad(aes.decrypt(encrypted[16:]))
password = "some password".encode()
ct_b64 = "U2FsdGVkX1+ATH716DgsfPGjzmvhr+7+pzYfUzR+25u0D7Z5Lw04IJ+LmvPXJMpz"
pt = decrypt(ct_b64, password)
print("pt", pt)
print("pt", decrypt(encrypt(pt, password), password))
Similar code can be found in my answers for Java and PHP.
JavaScript AES encryption in the browser without HTTPS is simple obfuscation and does not provide any real security, because the key must be transmitted alongside the ciphertext.
[UPDATE]:
You should use pycryptodome instead of pycrypto because pycrypto(latest pypi version is 2.6.1) no longer maintained and it has vulnerabilities CVE-2013-7459 and CVE-2018-6594 (CVE warning reported by github). I choose pycryptodomex package here(Cryptodome replace Crypto in code) instead of pycryptodome package to avoid conflict name with Crypto from pycrypto package.

Node.js Crypto input/output types

I am trying to figure out the Node.js Crypto library and how to use it properly for my situation.
My Goal is:
key in hex string 3132333435363738313233343536373831323334353637383132333435363738
text in hex string 46303030303030303030303030303030
ciphered text in hex string 70ab7387a6a94098510bf0a6d972aabe
I am testing this through a c implementation of AES 256 and through a website at http://www.hanewin.net/encrypt/aes/aes-test.htm
This is what I have to far, it's not working the way I would expect it to work. My best guess is that the input and output types are incorrect for the cipher function. The only one that works is utf8 if I use hex it fails with a v8 error. Any ideas on what I should convert or change to get it to work.
var keytext = "3132333435363738313233343536373831323334353637383132333435363738";
var key = new Buffer(keytext, 'hex');
var crypto = require("crypto")
var cipher = crypto.createCipher('aes-256-cbc',key,'hex');
var decipher = crypto.createDecipher('aes-256-cbc',key,'hex');
var text = "46303030303030303030303030303030";
var buff = new Buffer(text, 'hex');
console.log(buff)
var crypted = cipher.update(buff,'hex','hex')
The output in crypted in this example is 8cfdcda0a4ea07795945541e4d8c7e35 which is not what I would expect.

Your code is using aes-256-cbc when the website you are deriving test vectors from is using ecb mode. Also, you are calling createCipher, but with ECB you should use createCipheriv with no IV (see nodeJS: can't get crypto module to give me the right AES cipher outcome),
Here is some code that demonstrates this:
var crypto = require("crypto");
var testVector = { plaintext : "46303030303030303030303030303030",
iv : "",
key : "3132333435363738313233343536373831323334353637383132333435363738",
ciphertext : "70ab7387a6a94098510bf0a6d972aabe"};
var key = new Buffer(testVector.key, "hex");
var text = new Buffer(testVector.plaintext, "hex");
var cipher = crypto.createCipheriv("aes-256-ecb", key, testVector.iv);
var crypted = cipher.update(text,'hex','hex');
crypted += cipher.final("hex");
console.log("> " + crypted);
console.log("? " + testVector.ciphertext);
The output of running that code is not exactly what I expect, but the first block of the encrypted output matches your expectation. Probably another parameter that needs to be tweaked.:
$ node test-aes-ecb.js
