.NET TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider equivalent in Java

Question

Please, just don't ask me why. I just have this code in .NET that encrypt/decrypt strings of data. I need now to make 'exactly' the same funcionality in java. I have tried several examples for DESede crypt, but none of them gives the same results as this class in .net.

I even though on making a .net webserbvice behind ssl to serve this two methods writen in .net but it is just too stupid to do without exhausting all the posibilities.

Maybe some of you java people which are more related in the area will have on top of your heads how to make it.

Thanks !!!

public class Encryption
{
  private static byte[] sharedkey = {...};
  private static byte[] sharedvector = {...};

  public static String Decrypt(String val)
  {
    TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
    byte[] toDecrypt = Convert.FromBase64String(val);
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, tdes.CreateDecryptor( sharedkey, sharedvector ), CryptoStreamMode.Write);

    cs.Write(toDecrypt, 0, toDecrypt.Length);
    cs.FlushFinalBlock();
    return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray());
  }

  public static String Encrypt(String val)
  {
    TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
    byte[] toEncrypt = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(val);
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, tdes.CreateEncryptor( sharedkey, sharedvector ), CryptoStreamMode.Write);
    cs.Write(toEncrypt, 0, toEncrypt.Length);
    cs.FlushFinalBlock();
    return Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
  }

Samle input/output

String plain = "userNameHere:passwordHere";
Console.WriteLine("plain: " + plain);


String encrypted = Encrypt(plain);
Console.WriteLine("encrypted: " + encrypted);
// "zQPZgQHpjxR+41Bc6+2Bvqo7+pQAxBBVN+0V1tRXcOc="

String decripted = Decrypt(encrypted);
Console.WriteLine("decripted: " + decripted); 
// "userNameHere:passwordHere"

Code follows, but first a few notes.

1. A different initialization vector must be chosen for every message. Hard-coding the initialization vector does not make sense. The IV should be sent along with the cipher text to the message recipient (it's not secret).
2. I used my own utility class for base-64 encoding. You can use sun.misc.BASE64Encoder and sun.misc.BASE64Decoder instead, use a third-party library like BouncyCastle, or write your own.
3. You are using 2-key triple DES, where the first key and the third key is the same. I modified sharedkey to reflect this, since the Java DESede cipher always requires a 192-bit key; it's up to the key generator to handle the keying option.
4. A CBC IV is only 64 bits. I've used only the first 64 bits of sharedvector.

This class should inter-operate with the C# version.

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

public class Encryption
{

  private static byte[] sharedkey = {
    0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x05, 0x07, 0x0B, 0x0D, 0x11, 
    0x12, 0x11, 0x0D, 0x0B, 0x07, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 
    0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x05, 0x07, 0x0B, 0x0D, 0x11
  };

  private static byte[] sharedvector = {
    0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x05, 0x07, 0x0B, 0x0D, 0x11
  };

  public static void main(String... argv)
    throws Exception
  {
    String plaintext = "userNameHere:passwordHere";
    String ciphertext = encrypt(plaintext);
    System.out.println(ciphertext);
    System.out.println(decrypt(ciphertext));
  }

  public static String encrypt(String plaintext)
    throws Exception
  {
    Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
    c.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(sharedkey, "DESede"), new IvParameterSpec(sharedvector));
    byte[] encrypted = c.doFinal(plaintext.getBytes("UTF-8"));
    return Base64.encode(encrypted);
  }

  public static String decrypt(String ciphertext)
    throws Exception
  {
    Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
    c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(sharedkey, "DESede"), new IvParameterSpec(sharedvector));
    byte[] decrypted = c.doFinal(Base64.decode(ciphertext));
    return new String(decrypted, "UTF-8");
  }

}

Output:

zQPZgQHpjxR+41Bc6+2Bvqo7+pQAxBBVN+0V1tRXcOc=

userNameHere:passwordHere
