RSA .NET encryption Java decryption

Question

I am trying to encrypt strings in .NET by using a RSA algorithm and decrypt the result in Java. At the moment, I have been able to do the opposite (Encrypt in Java, Decrypt in .NET). Here I have my code that actually works (JAVA encryption):

byte[] modulusBytes = Base64.decode("2rRVVVFJRbH/wAPDtnwZwu+nxU+AZ6uXxh/sW+AMCBogg7vndZsnRiHoLttYYPqOyOhfgaBOQogrIfrKL4lipK4m52SBzw/FfcM9DsKs/rYR83tBLiIAfgdnVjF27tZID+HJMFTiI30mALjr7+tfp+2lIACXA1RIKTk7S9pDmX8=");
byte[] exponentBytes = Base64.decode("AQAB");
BigInteger modulus = new BigInteger(1, modulusBytes );
BigInteger exponent = new BigInteger(1, exponentBytes);

RSAPublicKeySpec rsaPubKey = new RSAPublicKeySpec(modulus, exponent);
KeyFactory fact = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PublicKey pubKey = fact.generatePublic(rsaPubKey);

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, pubKey);

byte[] plainBytes = new String("big kitty dancing").getBytes("UTF-8");
byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal( plainBytes );
String encryptedString = Base64.encode(cipherData);
return encryptedString;

And (.NET decryption)

const int PROVIDER_RSA_FULL = 1;
const string CONTAINER_NAME = "Tracker";

CspParameters cspParams;
cspParams = new CspParameters(PROVIDER_RSA_FULL);
cspParams.KeyContainerName = CONTAINER_NAME;
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa1 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cspParams);
rsa1.FromXmlString("<RSAKeyValue><Modulus>2rRVVVFJRbH/wAPDtnwZwu+nxU+AZ6uXxh/sW+AMCBogg7vndZsnRiHoLttYYPqOyOhfgaBOQogrIfrKL4lipK4m52SBzw/FfcM9DsKs/rYR83tBLiIAfgdnVjF27tZID+HJMFTiI30mALjr7+tfp+2lIACXA1RIKTk7S9pDmX8=</Modulus><Exponent>AQAB</Exponent><P>+lXMCEwIN/7+eMpBrq87kQppxu3jJBTwztGTfXNaPUTx+A6uqRwug5oHBbSpYXKNDNCBzVm/0VxB3bo4FJx+ZQ==</P><Q>yasOGaJaE9xlF9T2xRuKeG9ZxCiyjhYaYB/mbtL+SIbtkRLi/AxaU4g2Il/UxhxhSXArKxIzV28zktispPJx1Q==</Q><DP>ueRgQIEFUV+fY979a1RgrVHIPpqEI1URhOMH3Q59oiXCcOumM5njyIHmWQxRAzXnG+7xlKXi1PrnRll0L4oOKQ==</DP><DQ>dfEMNgG1HJhwpxdtmqkYuoakwQvsIRzcIAuIAJh1DoWaupWJGk8/JEstHb1d+t7uJrzrAi2KyT/HscH2diE0YQ==</DQ><InverseQ>YoYF9PF6FiC0YngVeaC/eqt/ea8wMYNN3YO1LuzWpcy2exPRj2U0ZbWMvHXMUb4ea2qmhZGx1QlK4ULAuWKpXQ==</InverseQ><D>g1WAWI4pEK9TA7CA2Yyy/2FzzNiu0uQCuE2TZYRNiomo96KQXpxwqAzZLw+VDXfJMypwDMAVZe/SqzSJnFEtZxjdxaEo3VLcZ1mnbIL0vS7D6iFeYutF9kF231165qGd3k2tgymNMMpY7oYKjS11Y6JqWDU0WE5hjS2X35iG6mE=</D></RSAKeyValue>");

string data2Decrypt = "BaB21vY+RD/jiY3AAsb269fIWTEH38s0xLUfJ7CoVUgaQ6vYzB0tiJ1Ag9HNEdCcuZdGchhqnms8jpsqsHC1iKrz6QCLsgUU7VNWDfQqZYR6Rl/GwR0biK2STnOL+g06f/JUdixHOHOgROify1m8qppYo5plpOVMqYFzEMREMkM=";

byte[] encyrptedBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(data2Decrypt);

byte[] plain = rsa1.Decrypt(encyrptedBytes, false);
string decryptedString = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plain);
Console.WriteLine("SALIDA: " + decryptedString);

Now I want to do the opposite... But I get some errors like (the size of the key should be 128 bytes... etc) How should I do it?

Here I add the current non working code:

.NET

public string Encrypt(string text)
{
    const int PROVIDER_RSA_FULL = 1;
    const string CONTAINER_NAME = "Tracker";

    CspParameters cspParams;
    cspParams = new CspParameters(PROVIDER_RSA_FULL);
    cspParams.KeyContainerName = CONTAINER_NAME;
    RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa1 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cspParams);
    rsa1.FromXmlString("<RSAKeyValue><Modulus>2rRVVVFJRbH/wAPDtnwZwu+nxU+AZ6uXxh/sW+AMCBogg7vndZsnRiHoLttYYPqOyOhfgaBOQogrIfrKL4lipK4m52SBzw/FfcM9DsKs/rYR83tBLiIAfgdnVjF27tZID+HJMFTiI30mALjr7+tfp+2lIACXA1RIKTk7S9pDmX8=</Modulus><Exponent>AQAB</Exponent><P>92jJJyzFBSx6gL4Y1YpALmc5CNjoE/wETjqb3ci2v0+3rZWvJKmKy1ZEdlXpyuvXVksJ6cMdUpNAkMknUk9pTQ==</P><Q>4kxkABZOXyDLryYGCGY0b8N0FIdu5BTCFDYEdcatxl/f7ZGDS1NgHJpUWxkVXFfHy2Y/GuDOIbpcwlsO739H+w==</Q><DP>5bNFvrdUHF+VRN45VFjNCcgQLeSkY5mBrdfASoNFGA29LM5iE5nNIMfxPCS7sQiRnq6Af6YFHVtVgJchiMvtqQ==</DP><DQ>j+ng1qVY5epnXlWiFIla45C7K6sNfIMvAcdwgq39KWEjeWPGyYqWXtpOtzh2eylf6Bx4GVHKBW0NPJTIJMsfLQ==</DQ><InverseQ>8uu0dfPVDqB2qFM1Vdi8hl+2uZtN7gjT2co1cEWy29HVYBZD0k9KKCf2PbkeuSfpgFpE70wW5Hrp8V7l/SwSOw==</InverseQ><D>MM/c18zroJ2Iqi9s5/asvUBF3pjO3NSEbFjFpP/NT6WdKimvECWPz2xT6NlV0Vc6tQaAAmtn7Bt+HPhfVdrA4/ysYVe3/6TWkPjW+bvAhMWu/ZqISx11/jPYSGD9g3ZXgUiqcQM8UbOjlswoq4fpheEXTB0xdVutDLpO3qgHN6k=</D></RSAKeyValue>");

    System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
    byte[] textBytes = encoding.GetBytes(text);
    byte[] encryptedOutput = rsa1.Encrypt(textBytes, false);
    string outputB64 = Convert.ToBase64String(encryptedOutput);
    Console.WriteLine(outputB64);
    return outputB64;
}

    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
    cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, privKey);

    byte[] base64String = Base64.decode(encodedString);
    byte[] plainBytes = new String(base64String).getBytes("UTF-8");
    byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal(plainBytes);

    System.out.println(cipherData);
    return cipherData.toString();
}

The last few lines of your Java decrypt code do not make sense. These lines are:

byte[] base64String = Base64.decode(encodedString);
byte[] plainBytes = new String(base64String).getBytes("UTF-8");
byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal(plainBytes);

System.out.println(cipherData);
return cipherData.toString();

You have to reverse the order of the steps you used to encrypt in .NET. First, you should Base64 decode the encoded string to get the cipher bytes. You did that, but you mislabeled the result as base64String. You probably should call this result cipherData. Second, you need to decrypt cipherData to get plain text. Third, you should create a string from plainbytes using the two-arg String constructor with the Charset for the second argument. Here is what the code should look like, or close to it.

byte[] cipherData = Base64.decode(encodedString);
byte[] plainBytes = cipher.doFinal(cipherData);

return new String(plainBytes, "UTF-8");

Finally, in Java every object has a toString() method but it doesn't always do what you want. For arrays the toString() method simply returns a representation of object id for that array, sort of the JVM equivalent of a memory address.

EDIT:

I missed that you are also using the wrong key in your decrypt code. Your are using the RSA public key, but you must instead use the RSA private key.
