Since 4.4 my encryption code (working since Android 1.5) fails with...
java.security.InvalidKeyException: initialisation vector must be the same
length as block size
....at the init call in the following code:
String passphrase = "pass";
String alg = "PBEWITHSHA-256AND256BITAES-CBC-BC";
PBEKeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec( passphrase.toCharArray(),
salt, 2001 );
SecretKey key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( alg
).generateSecret( keySpec );
Cipher ecipher = Cipher.getInstance( key.getAlgorithm() );
AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec = new IvParameterSpec(
initVector );
ecipher.init( Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec );
initVector and salt are both 8 byte arrays.
ecipher.getBlockSize() reports 16, so yes, it doesn't match the
initialization vector.
Presumably some default has changed somewhere.
This leaves all my users who used encryption in any way completely stuck.
I've tried to arrange without success that the cipher block size is set to
8.
For instance:
Cipher.getInstance( "AES/CBC8/PKCS5Padding" );
Gives:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: can't support mode CBC8
On the other hand, making initVector a 16 byte array causes init() to throw:
java.security.InvalidKeyException: invalid parameter passed to AES init -
com.android.org.bouncycastle.crypto.params.ParametersWithIV
Any ideas ?
TIA,
Pent
