Generate Aes 128 Key Java 3,5/5 7263 reviews
Greenhorn
posted 11 years agoThe encryption key is either a plain text file inside the /keys directory or a secret key inside a keystore. If you use a keystore for your AES 128-bit and AES 256-bit encryption keys.
I have written a below program to encrypt a file with AES 128 algorithm. This code works fine. It does encrypt and decrypt file successfully.
Here in this code I am generating SecretKey in the main() method with the use of key generator. But can anybody please tell me how can I generate SecretKey based on user's password in the below program?
Thanks in Advance,
Jenish

Generate Random Aes Key
posted 11 years agoYou can use the PBKDF2 algorithm to generate a key from a password; see this answer from a while ago.
Please make sure you use a different, random Initialisation Vector for each password-based key and each message, and save it with the encrypted data. Otherwise each message using the same key and starting with the same data will be encrypted the same, giving attackers a head start.

posted 11 years agoHi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried copy pasting the code from the thread you mentioned but I got the exception on line
SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance('PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1');
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 not available

Can you please tell me what is wrong with my code?

What version of Java are you using? I believe that algorithm was added with Java 6.

posted 11 years agoThat's the stack trace I get from J2RE 1.4.2. Even if for some reason you can't move to a supported version of Java, it's still a good algorithm, and you should be able to find a compatible version somewhere.

posted 11 years agoHey it worked fine I just changed my JRE version.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful program Carey.

posted 9 years agoHi, I'm new to encryption. Was wondering how can I store the key or print out the value of the key? Thanks!

encryption keys are binary. They don't print well. You can store them in a file by just writing out the binary bytes, but you can't read or print the binary.
Most folks wrap the binary in a text-based encoding, usually base64 or mime.
