I want to make an encrypted communication system with a dynamic key exchange between C# and PHP. At the moment I have a working encrypt/decrypt PHP <-> PHP and C# <-> C# but it's not working PHP <-> C# for some reason. The problem is that the C# code decrypted string generates a longer output than the PHP would expect, but the data is the same when viewing the output as a simple string. E.g a string "daa" sent from C# to PHP, decrypted length is 28, which is not what is supposed to be. Same goes with the string sent from PHP to C#, I get a compiler error ArgumentException: length
C# code:
public static string EncryptTest(string input)
{
string key = "256 bit key (32 char)";
input = Md5Sum(input).Substring(0, 4) + input;
var encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
var Key = encoding.GetBytes(key);
byte[] encrypted;
byte[] result;
using (var rj = new RijndaelManaged())
{
try
{
rj.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
rj.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
rj.KeySize = 256;
rj.BlockSize = 256;
rj.Key = Key;
rj.GenerateIV();
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = rj.CreateEncryptor())
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(cs))
{
writer.Write(input);
}
}
encrypted = ms.ToArray();
result = new byte[rj.BlockSize / 8 + encrypted.Length];
// Result is built as: IV (plain text) + Encrypted(data)
Array.Copy(rj.IV, result, rj.BlockSize / 8);
Array.Copy(encrypted, 0, result, rj.BlockSize / 8, encrypted.Length);
}
}
}
finally
{
rj.Clear();
}
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(result);
}
public static string DecryptTest(string input)
{
string key = "256 bit key (32 char)";
byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(input);
if (data.Length < 32)
return null;
var encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
var Key = encoding.GetBytes(key);
using (RijndaelManaged aes = new RijndaelManaged())
{
aes.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
aes.KeySize = 256;
aes.BlockSize = 256;
aes.Key = Key;
// Extract the IV from the data first.
byte[] iv = new byte[aes.BlockSize / 8];
Array.Copy(data, iv, iv.Length);
aes.IV = iv;
// The remainder of the data is the encrypted data we care about.
byte[] encryptedData = new byte[data.Length - iv.Length];
Array.Copy(data, iv.Length, encryptedData, 0, encryptedData.Length);
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = aes.CreateDecryptor())
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(encryptedData))
{
using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
{
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(cs))
{
string output = reader.ReadToEnd();
if (output.Length < 4)
return null;
string dataHash = output.Substring(0, 4);
string dataInput = output.Substring(4);
string dataInputHash = Md5Sum(dataInput).Substring(0, 4);
if (dataHash != dataInputHash)
return null;
return dataInput;
}
}
}
}
}
}
private static string Md5Sum(string strToEncrypt)
{
UTF8Encoding ue = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = ue.GetBytes(strToEncrypt);
MD5CryptoServiceProvider md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] hashBytes = md5.ComputeHash(bytes);
string hashString = "";
for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++)
{
hashString += Convert.ToString(hashBytes[i], 16).PadLeft(2, '0');
}
return hashString.PadLeft(32, '0');
}
PHP code:
$key = "256 bit key (32 char)";
function iv()
{
$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC);

{
# Prepend 4-chars data hash to the data itself for validation after decryption
$data = substr(md5($data), 0, 4).$data;
# Prepend $iv to decrypted data
$iv = iv();
$enc = $iv.mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key32, $data, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);
return base64_encode($enc);
