Decrypt PHP encrypted string in C#

Question

I have a string encrypted in PHP that I would like to decrypt in C#. I used the tutorial below to do the encryption, but am having problems decrypting. Can anyone post an example on how to do this?

Answer 1

Hope this helps:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Decrypt("47794945c0230c3d"));
    }

    static string Decrypt(string input)
    {
        TripleDES tripleDes = TripleDES.Create();
        tripleDes.IV = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("password");
        tripleDes.Key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("passwordDR0wSS@P6660juht");
        tripleDes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
        tripleDes.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;

        ICryptoTransform crypto = tripleDes.CreateDecryptor();
        byte[] decodedInput = Decoder(input);
        byte[] decryptedBytes = crypto.TransformFinalBlock(decodedInput, 0, decodedInput.Length);
        return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(decryptedBytes);
    }

    static byte[] Decoder(string input)
    {
        byte[] bytes = new byte[input.Length/2];
        int targetPosition = 0;

        for( int sourcePosition=0; sourcePosition<input.Length; sourcePosition+=2 )
        {
            string hexCode = input.Substring(sourcePosition, 2);
            bytes[targetPosition++] = Byte.Parse(hexCode, NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
        }

        return bytes;
    }
}

If you are not tied to tripleDES, but just need to pass encrypted data between php and .net, this will work for you. It's in VB and C# below.

BEGIN PHP CODE

<?php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// I blantantly stole, tweaked and happily used this code from: 
// Lord of Ports http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_1736399.html

$ky = 'lkirwf897+22#bbtrm8814z5qq=498j5'; // 32 * 8 = 256 bit key
$iv = '741952hheeyy66#cs!9hjv887mxx7@8y'; // 32 * 8 = 256 bit iv

$text = "Here is my data to encrypt!!!";

$from_vb = "QBlgcQ2+v3wd8RLjhtu07ZBd8aQWjPMfTc/73TPzlyA=";   // enter value from vb.net app here to test

$etext = encryptRJ256($ky, $iv, $text);
$dtext = decryptRJ256($ky, $iv, $etext);
$vtext = decryptRJ256($ky, $iv, $from_vb);

echo "<HR>orignal string: $text";
echo "<HR>encrypted in php: $etext";
echo "<HR>decrypted in php: $dtext";
echo "<HR>encrypted in vb: $from_vb";
echo "<HR>from vb decrypted in php: $vtext"; 
echo "<HR>If you like it say thanks! richard dot varno at gmail dot com";

exit;


function decryptRJ256($key,$iv,$string_to_decrypt)
{
    $string_to_decrypt = base64_decode($string_to_decrypt);
    $rtn = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $string_to_decrypt, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);
    $rtn = rtrim($rtn, "\0\4");
    return($rtn);
}

function encryptRJ256($key,$iv,$string_to_encrypt)
{
    $rtn = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $string_to_encrypt, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);
    $rtn = base64_encode($rtn);
    return($rtn);
}    
?>
