Migrate String encryption from Ruby to Java

Asked 2019-Apr-28 at 13:40

I need to produce the same encrypted string in Java as the one built with the Ruby encrypted_strings library. I've tried many different ways but my Java code keeps returning a different output, and I'm unable to understand what I'm doing wrong.

Below is the ruby script that produces the desired output that I can't get right in Java.

The first thing to do is to derive the IV and key from the given password.

From the link above, you will get an encoded IV and KEY that corresponds with "VDiJjncs4ak=" and "s9e42J3PpmQv8n5T8L3zzuFaGdrzK/wU" respectively. This means that the key and IV vector used in the Java code are wrong as it was said in the comments.

Below is the resulting Java code:

Probably version of cocoapods is running in unsupported version ruby and install again . To fix it remove all versions of cocoapods. How to do it find at answer https://superuser.com/a/686319

It can be happen after updating to new macOS version. To prevent it happen in future use rbenv Ruby environment

rbenv allows to not use root access

How safe is it to use an ip for running a Sinatra ruby app for an iOS application

Asked 2017-Jun-21 at 18:21

I am building an iOS app and I have an AWS ec2 instance running a Sinatra app for refreshing and swapping a Spotify SDK access token and I am wondering about any safety issues with having a url such as http://#someIP:4567 on the application itself.

I know with an AWS ec2 instance you can get it secured by making it a https but how can you secure an IP in the same sense(If I even need to do so)?

Here is what is in the ruby file:

HTTPS is only available for domain names. Not available for IP. If you only use IP, then you are exposed to MITM attack and all your data is plain text flying around. Anyone can eavesdrop your request. You have a code parameter in the swap request and I guess is code is credential correct? If yes, it's better to grab some domain name and set it up using aws route53. Then buy some cheap SSL certificate to associate it with the domain. Then on the iOS side, enable HTTPS instead of HTTP to communicate with your server. This has nothing to do with your Sinatra app.

To know more about SSL/HTTPS, you can take a look at some beginner tutorials like this: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ssl-certs-guide/

QUESTION

How to extract the IV vector generated by encrypt method from encrypted_strings

Asked 2017-Feb-23 at 19:00

I'm having troubles to extract the IV generated with the encrypt method from encrypted_strings library for a specific password I provide. From the documentation, I see that this method generates a key and iv based on a password using a C library that calls the same method as openssl to generate the key and iv: EVP_BytesToKey.

What I'm trying to do is to be able to print the IV for any password I specify so I can port the encryption to another language.

Can you think of any method to extract/print this IV vector from a password?

These are the details of the algorithm, mode and padding this library uses:

ALGO: DES-EDE3
MODE: CBC
PADDING: PKCS5

The ruby script below prints out the encrypted message but no clue which iv was used.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2017-Feb-23 at 19:00

PKCS7 padding is basically the same as PKCS5. The reason you get a different result on the command line is that it only uses a single hash iteration, where the function used by encrypted_strings does 2048 iterations by default.

The function used, EVP_BytesToKey is described in the OpenSSL wiki, which include details of the algorithm. Reproducing it in Ruby might look something like this (using MD5 and 2048 iterations):
