Image encryption/decryption using AES256 symmetric block ciphers

Question

Is there any good example of how to encrypt and decrypt image and other files with AES on Android?

Answer 1

Warning: This answer contains code you should not use as it is insecure (using SHA1PRNG for key derivation and using AES in ECB mode)

Instead (as of 2016), use PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 for key derivation and AES in CBC or GCM mode (GCM provides both privacy and integrity)

You could use functions like these:

private static byte[] encrypt(byte[] raw, byte[] clear) throws Exception {
    SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
    cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
    byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(clear);
    return encrypted;
}

private static byte[] decrypt(byte[] raw, byte[] encrypted) throws Exception {
    SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
    cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
    byte[] decrypted = cipher.doFinal(encrypted);
    return decrypted;
}

And invoke them like this:

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();  
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos); // bm is the bitmap object   
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();  

byte[] keyStart = "this is a key".getBytes();
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
SecureRandom sr = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");
sr.setSeed(keyStart);
kgen.init(128, sr); // 192 and 256 bits may not be available
SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey();
byte[] key = skey.getEncoded();    

// encrypt
byte[] encryptedData = encrypt(key,b);
// decrypt
byte[] decryptedData = decrypt(key,encryptedData);

This should work, I use similar code in a project right now.

As mentioned by Nacho.L PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 derivation is used as it is more secured.

    }

    public static String decrypt(String textToDecrypt) throws Exception {

For AES/CBC/PKCS7 encryption/decryption, Just Copy and paste the following code and replace SecretKey and IV with your own.

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException;
import java.security.InvalidKeyException;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException;
import javax.crypto.NoSuchPaddingException;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

import android.util.Base64;


public class CryptoHandler {

    String SecretKey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
    String IV = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

    private static CryptoHandler instance = null;

    public static CryptoHandler getInstance() {

        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new CryptoHandler();
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public String encrypt(String message) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
            NoSuchPaddingException, IllegalBlockSizeException,
            BadPaddingException, InvalidKeyException,
            UnsupportedEncodingException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException {

        byte[] srcBuff = message.getBytes("UTF8");
        //here using substring because AES takes only 16 or 24 or 32 byte of key 
        SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new 
        SecretKeySpec(SecretKey.substring(0,32).getBytes(), "AES");
        IvParameterSpec ivSpec = new 
        IvParameterSpec(IV.substring(0,16).getBytes());
        Cipher ecipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS7Padding");
        ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, ivSpec);
        byte[] dstBuff = ecipher.doFinal(srcBuff);
        String base64 = Base64.encodeToString(dstBuff, Base64.DEFAULT);
        return base64;
    }

    public String decrypt(String encrypted) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
            NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException,

Answer 6

If you are encrypting a text file, then the following test/sample may be useful. It does the following:

1. Create a byte stream,
2. wraps that with AES encryption,
3. wrap it next with text processing

4. and lastly buffers it

   // AESdemo
   
   public class AESdemo extends Activity {
       boolean encryptionIsOn = true;
   
       @Override
       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           setContentView(R.layout.activity_aesdemo);
           // needs <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
           String homeDirName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +
                   "/" + getPackageName();
           File file = new File(homeDirName, "test.txt");
           byte[] keyBytes = getKey("password");
   
           try {
               File dir = new File(homeDirName);

        String plainText = new String(messageBytes);
        return plainText;
    }
}

Now, call encryptMessage() or decryptMessage() for desired AES Operation with required parameters.

Also, handle the exceptions during AES operations.

Hope it helped...
