Hi,
A Java application is encrypting a block of text using 3DES ECB mode
and PKCS5 padding. I need to decrypt this text using C#. I've
extracted the 192 bit key using the getEncoded() method of the
SecretKey Java class. However when I use this key in .NET i cannot
decrypt the cipher text.
I am pretty sure that all my settings are correct, as far as setting
the ECB mode, PKCS5 padding and converting the cipher text to byte
arrays. I think it's the key that is giving me problems. Is there
anything that I must do to the exported java key before I use it in
..NET ?
Thanks

AFAIK, Java provides you with a 192-bit parity-adjusted key and .NET
requires a 168-bit non-parity-adjusted key. I don't think there is any
function in Java or .NET to remove the parity but it's simple enough to
implement (just a case of removing the LSB of each byte in the key).
You also need to ensure that your IV is shared between the two applications.

Thanks for the reply,
I tired extracting the 168 bit key by removing the parity bit. However
now I get a "Specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm."
exception when i try to use the key. I remember reading somewhere that
..NET / Crypto API igonore the parity bit anyways.

Forget all that, there was no compatibility problem. The error had to
do with something unrelated. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi Guys,
After a break of 2 years I'm now re-visiting the world of java.
I recall on my last foray that I had to stick to java 1.1 so I could deploy
applets from a server and obtain maximum compatibility with the standard
browsers, supplied on all platforms: We live in the pre-press industry where
folk use diverse platforms such as Sparc, Mac, PC (mnimum Win2K, or XP),
using Netscape and Internet Explorer, etc.

Hello,
My problem is two fold.
1) I must support a deployed legacy application written in VB6 SP5. I
need to export data from a database, compress it and the encrypt the data
using 3DES (to prevent tampering) data gets transmitted at night to the home
office of my company. Rewriting this application in .NET is not an option as
the application was 5 years in development.

Hi,
My question is about 3des, ... in fact the difference between 3DES with
Capicom (VB) and VB.net
With VB6/capicom, encrypting data is simple :
message.Content = "This is my bank account : Azerty007"
message.SetSecret "MyPassword'
message.Algorithm.KeyLength = CAPICOM_ENCRYPTION_KEY_LENGTH_128_BITS
message.Algorithm.Name = CAPICOM_ENCRYPTION_ALGORITHM_3DES

I am confused with some code I have that seems to use a hash (MD5) in the

The only thing I can figure is that it is using the hash only on the key.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
