Different output encryption both CryptoJS and Java Code

Question

I need to encrypt certainly string from client-side (JavaScript) and decrypt from server-side (Java), so I found CryptoJS and I write the code with the same params/configuration of mi Java Code but the output is always different, do you have any idea or what happen?

I'm use CBC with NoPadding

CryptoJS

    function padString(source) {

        var size = 16;
        var x = source.length % size;
        var padLength = size - x;

        for (var i = 0; i < padLength; i++) source += paddingChar;

        return source;
    }

    var key = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('0123456789abcdef');
    var iv  = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('fedcba9876543210');
    var message = "soldier";
    var padMsg = padString(message);

    var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(padMsg, key, { iv: iv, padding: CryptoJS.pad.NoPadding, mode: CryptoJS.mode.CBC});

    console.log("Encrypted: "+encrypted);
    console.log("Encrypted text: "+encrypted.ciphertext);

}

Original string:

soldier

Output from CryptoJS:

Encrypted: VNzZNKJTqfRbM7zO/M4cDQ==
Encrypted Hex: 54dcd934a253a9f45b33bccefcce1c0d

Output from Java Code:

Encrypted: j6dSmg2lfjY2RpN91GNgNw==
Encrypted Hex: 6a3664536d67326c666a593252704e3931474e674e773d3d

The base64 string encrypted has same length but not the hex. If I put the output result of CryptoJS in Java Code, the decryption is incorrect.

The problem here is that your key input in inconsistent.

• CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('0123456789abcdef') reads the input as a series of bytes expressed as two-digit hex values: 01, 23, 45, etc.

• Your Java array specifies byte values using the character-encoding values of the characters. So, the sequence of bytes (in hex) is: 30 (decimal 48, ASCII code for '0'), then 31 (decimal 49, ASCII code for '1'), etc.

You can make the JavaScript conform to the the Java implementation by using CryptoJS.enc.Latin1.parse which will read in the individual character values and use them as byte values: http://jsfiddle.net/gCHAG/1/ (this produces the same j6dSm... output)

However, you probably want each digit to be its own byte. To do that, you need to change both implementations.

Java:

// use hex literals, not characters
byte[] { 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F };
// array values: 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, etc

JavaScript:

// remember each bytes is two digits wide
CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f')
// array values: 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, etc
