Overview:

This is a sample utility to encrypt/decrypt using AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding algorithm

Most common error: "Invalid Key Size" error is most likely caused by not updating JCE strength policy, see above

NOTE: This example is built using JDK7, ultimate strength JCE (JDK7) and Maven 3.x

Unlimited Strength Policy JDK7
JDK must have the unlimited strength policy for the JDK version

To Run:

mvn clean test

To Use:

# Key stored in JCEKS formatted Java keystore
Key key = ....; // see tests pulling key from keystore
// alternative is to hard-code key in string
AESCipher cipher = new AESCipher(key);

String encryptedMessage = cipher.getEncryptedMessage("this is message");
String decryptedMessage = cipher.getDecryptedMessage(encryptedMessage);

AESCipher cipherWithIv = new AESCipher(key, "0123456789012345".getBytes());
String encryptedMessage = cipherWithIv.getEncryptedMessage("this is message");
String decryptedMessage = cipherWithIv.getDecryptedMessage(encryptedMessage);
