Padding error - when using AES Encryption in Java and decryption in C

Question

I had a problem decrypting the xl file in rijndael 'c' code (the file was encrypted in Java via JCE), and this problem only occurs for excel file types that have the formula. The rest of all file type encryption / decryption is correct.

(If I decrypt the same file in java, the output goes fine.)

While I was dumping the file, I see the difference between decrypting java and decrypting the file 'C'.

od -c -b filename (decrypted file in C)

0034620  005 006  \0  \0  \0  \0 022  \0 022  \0 320 004  \0  \0 276   4

005 006 000 000 000 000 022 000 022 000 320 004 000 000 276 064

0034640   \0  \0  \0  \0  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f  \f

000 000 000 000 014 014 014 014 014 014 014 014 014 014 014 014 0034660 

od -c -b filename (decrypted file in Java)

0034620  005 006  \0  \0  \0  \0 022  \0 022  \0 320 004  \0  \0 276   4

005 006 000 000 000 000 022 000 022 000 320 004 000 000 276 064

0034640   \0  \0  \0  \0 000 000 000 000 0034644

(higher difference between dumped files)

The following java code I used to encrypt the file.

public class AES {

    /**
     * Turns array of bytes into string
     * 
     * @param buf
     *            Array of bytes to convert to hex string
     * @return Generated hex string
     */

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        File file = new File("testxls.xls");

        byte[] lContents = new byte[(int) file.length()];
        try {
            FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            fileInputStream.read(lContents);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
            kgen.init(256); // 192 and 256 bits may not be available
            // Generate the secret key specs.
            SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey();
            // byte[] raw = skey.getEncoded();
            byte[] raw = "aabbccddeeffgghhaabbccddeeffgghh".getBytes();
            SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
            cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
            byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(lContents);
            cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
            byte[] original = cipher.doFinal(lContents);
            FileOutputStream f1 = new FileOutputStream("testxls_java.xls");
            f1.write(original);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}

I used the following file to decrypt in 'C'.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "rijndael.h"


#define KEYBITS 256

#include <stdio.h>
#include "rijndael.h"

#define KEYBITS 256 

    int main(int argc, char **argv)  
    {  
     unsigned long rk[RKLENGTH(KEYBITS)];  
     unsigned char key[KEYLENGTH(KEYBITS)];  
     int i;  
     int nrounds;  
     char dummy[100] = "aabbccddeeffgghhaabbccddeeffgghh";  
     char *password;  
     FILE *input,*output;  
     password = dummy;  
     for (i = 0; i < sizeof(key); i++)  
          key[i] = *password != 0 ? *password++ : 0;  
     input = fopen("doc_for_logu.xlsb", "rb");  
     if (input == NULL)  
     {  
         fputs("File read error", stderr);  
          return 1;  
     }  
    output = fopen("ori_c_res.xlsb","w");  
    nrounds = rijndaelSetupDecrypt(rk, key, 256);  
     while (1)  
     {
      unsigned char plaintext[16];  
      unsigned char ciphertext[16];  
      int j;  
      if (fread(ciphertext, sizeof(ciphertext), 1, input) != 1)  
            break;  
      rijndaelDecrypt(rk, nrounds, ciphertext, plaintext);  
      fwrite(plaintext, sizeof(plaintext), 1, output);    
     }  
     fclose(input);  
     fclose(output);  
    }

Answer 1

PKCS, Java, C decypted, .

, fwrite, ( , ):

unsigned char plaintext[16];  
unsigned char ciphertext[16];
int last_block;

last_block = (fread(ciphertext, sizeof(ciphertext), 1, input) != 1);  
while (!last_block)
{
    size_t plaintext_size = sizeof plaintext;

    rijndaelDecrypt(rk, nrounds, ciphertext, plaintext);
    last_block = (fread(ciphertext, sizeof(ciphertext), 1, input) != 1);

    if (last_block)
    {
        /* Remove padding */
        plaintext_size -= plaintext[(sizeof plaintext) - 1];
    }

    if (plaintext_size)
    {
        fwrite(plaintext, plaintext_size, 1, output);
    }
}
