Suppose an app securely writes a file using following methods. A user copies the file and pastes in the same directory on another device. Can the app read the file on the new device? I mean is the following file read/write process device-specific or not?
static void encrypt() throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException {
// Here you read the cleartext.
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("data/cleartext");
// This stream write the encrypted text. This stream will be wrapped by another stream.
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("data/encrypted");
// Length is 16 byte
// Careful when taking user input!!! http://stackoverflow.com/a/3452620/1188357
SecretKeySpec sks = new SecretKeySpec("MyDifficultPassw".getBytes(), "AES");
// Create cipher
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, sks);
// Wrap the output stream
CipherOutputStream cos = new CipherOutputStream(fos, cipher);
// Write bytes
int b;
byte[] d = new byte[8];
while((b = fis.read(d)) != -1) {
cos.write(d, 0, b);
}
// Flush and close streams.
cos.flush();
cos.close();
fis.close();
}
static void decrypt() throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("data/encrypted");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("data/decrypted");
SecretKeySpec sks = new SecretKeySpec("MyDifficultPassw".getBytes(), "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, sks);
CipherInputStream cis = new CipherInputStream(fis, cipher);
int b;
byte[] d = new byte[8];
while((b = cis.read(d)) != -1) {
fos.write(d, 0, b);
}
fos.flush();
fos.close();
cis.close();
}
//put the last part in the method
static void generate() throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException, IOException{
FileInputStream fis;
FileOutputStream fos;
CipherOutputStream cos;
// File you are reading from
fis = new FileInputStream("/tmp/a.txt");
// File output
fos = new FileOutputStream("/tmp/b.txt");
// Here the file is encrypted. The cipher1 has to be created.
// Key Length should be 128, 192 or 256 bit => i.e. 16 byte
SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec("MyDifficultPassw".getBytes(), "AES");
Cipher cipher1 = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher1.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
cos = new CipherOutputStream(fos, cipher1);
// Here you read from the file in fis and write to cos.
byte[] b = new byte[8];
int i = fis.read(b);
while (i != -1) {
cos.write(b, 0, i);
i = fis.read(b);
}
cos.flush();
}
