I am trying to replicate the encryption result from here in Ruby using OpenSSL: https://emvlab.org/descalc/?key=18074F7ADD44C903&iv=18074F7ADD44C903&input=4E5A56564F4C563230313641454E5300&mode=cbc&action=Encrypt&output=25C843BA5C043FFFB50F76E43A211F8D
Original string = "NZVVOLV2016AENS"
String converted to hexadecimal = "4e5a56564f4c563230313641454e53"
iv = "18074F7ADD44C903"
key = "18074F7ADD44C903"
Expected result = "9B699B4C59F1444E8D37806FA9D15F81"
Here is my ruby code:
require 'openssl'
require "base64"
include Base64
iv = "08074F7ADD44C903"
cipher = "08074F7ADD44C903"
def encode(string)
puts "Attempting encryption - Input: #{string}"
encrypt = OpenSSL::Cipher.new('DES-CBC')
encrypt.encrypt
encrypt.key = ["18074F7ADD44C903"].pack('H*') #.scan(/../).map{|b|b.hex}.pack('c*')
encrypt.iv = ["18074F7ADD44C903"].pack('H*')
result = encrypt.update(string) + encrypt.final
puts "Raw output: #{result.inspect}"
unpacked = result.unpack('H*')[0]
puts "Encrypted key is: #{unpacked}"
puts "Encrypted Should be: 9B699B4C59F1444E8D37806FA9D15F81"
return unpacked
end
res = encode("NZVVOLV2016AENS")
Output:
Encrypted key is: 9b699b4c59f1444ea723ab91e89c023a
Encrypted Should be: 9B699B4C59F1444E8D37806FA9D15F81
Interestingly, the first half of the result is correct, and the last 16 digits are incorrect.
The web site uses Zero padding by default, while the Ruby code uses PKCS#7 padding by default.
Ruby does not seem to support Zero padding, so disable the default padding and implement Zero padding yourself.
Zero padding pads to the next full block size with 0x00 values. The block size for DES is 8 bytes. If the last block of the plaintext is already filled, no padding is done:
def zeroPad(string, blocksize)
len = string.bytes.length
padLen = (blocksize - len % blocksize) % blocksize
string += "\0" * padLen
return string
end
In the encode() function (which should better be called encrypt() function) the following lines must be added before encryption:
encrypt.padding = 0 # disable PKCS#7 padding
string = zeroPad(string, 8) # enable Zero padding
The modified Ruby code then gives the same ciphertext as the web site.
Note that DES is insecure, also it' s insecure to use the key as IV (as well as a static IV). Furthermore, Zero padding is unreliable in contrast to PKCS#7 padding.
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.
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'encrypted_strings'
data = 'Whackabad'
password = 'bAJLyifeUJUBFWdHzVbykfDmPHtLKLMzViHW9aHGmyTLD8hGYZ'
encrypted_data = data.encrypt(:symmetric, :password => password)
printf "Data: #{data}\n"
printf "Encrypted Data: #{encrypted_data}"
I tried to use openssl as it allows me to print the iv and key generated using -p option but it uses a PKCS7 padding instead of PKCS5. So if I run the command below, doesn't print the same encrypted string as the ruby code above.
echo -n 'Whackabad' | openssl enc -des-ede3-cbc -nosalt -a -k bAJLyifeUJUBFWdHzVbykfDmPHtLKLMzViHW9aHGmyTLD8hGYZ
NOTE:
-a: base64 encode, -k: password, and echo -n: removes the new line from the string so its exactly the same size as the ruby in string.
If I add -nopad option, I don't know how to pad the output to get exactly the same encrypted result.
Any help would be much appreciated
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):
def hash(d, count)
count.times do
d = OpenSSL::Digest.digest('md5', d)
end
d
end
password = 'bAJLyifeUJUBFWdHzVbykfDmPHtLKLMzViHW9aHGmyTLD8hGYZ'
bytes = ''
last = ''
# For des-ede3-cbc, 24 byte key + 8 byte IV = 32 bytes.
while bytes.length < 32
last = hash(last + password, 2048)
bytes << last
end
key = bytes[0...24]
iv = bytes[24..-1]
You can use these values to decrypt the result of your code (add require 'base64' first):
# This is the result of your code:
encrypted_data = "AEsDXVcgh2jsTjlDgh+REg=="
# enrypted_strings produces base64 encoded results, so we decode first
encrypted_data = Base64.decode64(encrypted_data)
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher.new('des-ede3-cbc')
cipher.decrypt
cipher.key = key
cipher.iv = iv
plain = cipher.update(encrypted_data) + cipher.final
puts plain #=> "Whackabad"
I am trying to encrypt the same text using AES w/ the same key and iv. I use the bash approach and ruby's openssl stdlib, and I b64 encode the encrypted result. But the results are different! I am trying to understand why. Here is what I did:
Ruby (1.9.3-p448)
data = "foobar"
key = ["a8f9f5c5b4c42c75e255a73b6be311e1"].pack("H*")
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::AES.new(128, :CBC)
cipher.encrypt
cipher.key = key
iv = cipher.random_iv
enc = cipher.update(data) + cipher.final
Base64.strict_encode64(enc)
cipher_key_hex = key.each_byte.map { |b| b.to_s(16) }.join
iv_hex = iv.each_byte.map { |b| b.to_s(16) }.join
Bash
The -iv parameter is set to the iv_hex value calculated above.
$ echo -n 'foobar' > foobar.txt
$ openssl enc -aes-128-cbc -base64 -in foobar.txt -K a8f9f5c5b4c42c75e255a73b6be311e1 -iv 5dc7ff87987c5a25ae73433f11bd6fa
=========================================
I double checked the IV is the same in both approaches.
Ruby output: rbRIW7iTsNC6LttBQ+Amzg==
Bash output: CcSs1+ssEu8FYkcspLeCWw==
What am I missing? This is baffling.
The issue is that b.to_s will not return two characters per byte. This means that any byte value less than 16 will be converted into one byte, and if those bytes are concatenated then the hexadecimal digits of different bytes will be combined, resulting in an invalid IV or key. This fact is hidden by the cryptographic API, which may pad the keys and IV to a correct size, instead of rejecting them (as it should).
You can use unpack("H*") instead to perform the correct encoding of the bytes to hexadecimal. This is also nicely symmetric to pack("H*") used for decoding the hexadecimal values.
I am trying to convert some C# code into ruby. Here is a snippet of the C# code:
string Encrypt(string toEncrypt, string key) {
byte[] keyArray;
byte[] toEncryptArray = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(toEncrypt);
keyArray = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
tdes.Key = keyArray;
tdes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
tdes.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
ICryptoTransform cTransform = tdes.CreateEncryptor();
byte[] resultArray = cTransform.TransformFinalBlock(toEncryptArray, 0, toEncryptArray.Length);
return Convert.ToBase64String(resultArray, 0, resultArray.Length);
My biggest issue seems to be around getting the padding specification right.
Here is what I have so far...
des = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new('des-ecb')
des.encrypt # OpenSSL::PKCS7 has to passed in somewhere
des.key = '--The Key--'
update_value = des.update(val)
After running through all of the available OpenSSL ciphers and testing to see if any of the outputs resulted in the same encrypted string with no success, I then did the same thing, but this time passing in a padding integer (from 0 - 20), and iterated over all of the ciphers again.
This resulted in a success!
The final code:
def encrypt val
des = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new 'DES-EDE3'
des.encrypt
des.padding = 1
des.key = '--SecretKey--'
update_value = des.update(val)
up_final = update_value + des.final
Base64.encode64(up_final).gsub(/\n/, "")
end
The biggest thing to note is the I had to remove the newline characters, and had to put in a padding of 1.
I'm still confused on the padding...but, wanted to update everyone on what I found in case someone runs into this in the future
:Update: The padding didn't matter after all...if you take out that line it still encrypts the same as if you had any number in there...the big difference I was missing was taking out the newlines
Try 'des-ede3-ecb' or just '3des' as names instead. 'des-ecb' is unlikely to return a triple DES cipher.
PKCS#7 is normally the default for OpenSSL, so you may not have to specify it.
Make sure that your character-encoding (UTF-8, compatible with ASCII for values up to 7F) and encoding (base 64) matches as well.
I'm trying to get a ruby implementation of an encryption lib that's apparently popular in the Java world -- PBEWithMD5AndDES
Does anyone know how to use openssl or another open source gem to perform encryption/decryption that's compatible with this format?
Updated:
I used a gem chilkat to implement it but it is paid, i need an opensource solution.
I know it is super old but I had the same problem and just solved it so here it goes
to encrypt, where salt is your salt sting, passkey is your password key string and iterations is number of iterations you want to use
def encrypt_account_number
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new("DES")
cipher.encrypt
cipher.pkcs5_keyivgen passkey, salt,iterations,digest
encrypted_account_number = cipher.update(account_number)
encrypted_account_number << cipher.final
Base64.encode64(encrypted_account_number )
end
def decrypt_account_number
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new("DES")
base_64_code = Base64.decode64(account_number)
cipher.decrypt
cipher.pkcs5_keyivgen passkey, salt,iterations,digest
decrypted_account_number = cipher.update base_64_code
decrypted_account_number << cipher.final
decrypted_account_number
end
You don't need to actually implement PBEWithMD5andDES assuming ruby has a DES implementation. What you need to implement is the key derivation function ( who you get a key out of a password) and then feed that derived key to DES with the appropriate mode and padding.
Thankfully, the key derivation function is not particularly security critical in implementation, so you can do it yourself safely enough. According to the rfc, PBEwithMD5AndDES is actually the PBKDF1 ( a ker derivation function) used with DES in CBC mode .
PBKDF1 does not look that hard to implement . Looks like you can do it with a for loop and an md5 call.
Note that you may still get some odd results because of the possibility of a different padding scheme being used in Java and Ruby. I assume that the spec one is pkcs 1.5 padding, but at a quick glance, I can't confirm this
5.1 PBKDF1
PBKDF1 applies a hash function, which shall be MD2 [6], MD5 [19] or
SHA-1 [18], to derive keys. The length of the derived key is bounded
by the length of the hash function output, which is 16 octets for MD2
and MD5 and 20 octets for SHA-1. PBKDF1 is compatible with the key
derivation process in PKCS #5 v1.5.
PBKDF1 is recommended only for compatibility with existing
applications since the keys it produces may not be large enough for
some applications.
PBKDF1 (P, S, c, dkLen)
Options: Hash underlying hash function
Input: P password, an octet string
S salt, an eight-octet string
c iteration count, a positive integer
dkLen intended length in octets of derived key,
a positive integer, at most 16 for MD2 or
MD5 and 20 for SHA-1
Output: DK derived key, a dkLen-octet string
Steps:
1. If dkLen > 16 for MD2 and MD5, or dkLen > 20 for SHA-1, output
"derived key too long" and stop.
2. Apply the underlying hash function Hash for c iterations to the
concatenation of the password P and the salt S, then extract
the first dkLen octets to produce a derived key DK:
T_1 = Hash (P || S) ,
T_2 = Hash (T_1) ,
...
T_c = Hash (T_{c-1}) ,
DK = Tc<0..dkLen-1>
3. Output the derived key DK.
For what its' worth, I'm posting my python code, which actually works (I have tons of encrypted values which were done using org.jasypt.util.text.BasicTextEncryptor, I needed to decrypt them.)

I do not really recall how this code works, but I'm 99% sure it does. I wrote it by carefully digging through the spec from the Java implementation of pbewithmd5anddes, and testing this python against that. I delivered exactly this code to a client, and it worked fine for them. I changed the constants before pasting it here, but that's all. You should be able to confirm that it produces the same encrypted output as the Java lib, and then replicate it in ruby. Good luck!
