I need to implement 256 bit AES encryption, but all the examples I have found online use a "KeyGenerator" to generate a 256 bit key, but I would like to use my own passkey. How can I create my own key? I have tried padding it out to 256 bits, but then I get an error saying that the key is too long. I do have the unlimited jurisdiction patch installed, so thats not the problem :)
Ie. The KeyGenerator looks like this ...
// Get the KeyGenerator
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
kgen.init(128); // 192 and 256 bits may not be available
// Generate the secret key specs.
SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey();
byte[] raw = skey.getEncoded();
EDIT
I was actually padding the password out to 256 bytes, not bits, which is too long. The following is some code I am using now that I have some more experience with this.
byte[] key = null; // TODO
byte[] input = null; // TODO
byte[] output = null;
SecretKeySpec keySpec = null;
keySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS7Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keySpec);
output = cipher.doFinal(input)
The "TODO" bits you need to do yourself :-)
This question is related to

aes
The Spring Security Crypto module provides support for symmetric encryption, key generation, and password encoding. The code is distributed as part of the core module but has no dependencies on any other Spring Security (or Spring) code.
It's provides a simple abstraction for encryption and seems to match what's required here,
The "standard" encryption method is 256-bit AES using PKCS #5's PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function #2). This method requires Java 6. The password used to generate the SecretKey should be kept in a secure place and not be shared. The salt is used to prevent dictionary attacks against the key in the event your encrypted data is compromised. A 16-byte random initialization vector is also applied so each encrypted message is unique.
A look at the internals reveals a structure similar to erickson's answer.
As noted in the question, this also requires the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy (else you'll encounter InvalidKeyException: Illegal Key Size). It's downloadable for Java 6, Java 7 and Java 8.
import org.springframework.security.crypto.encrypt.Encryptors;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.encrypt.TextEncryptor;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.keygen.KeyGenerators;
public class CryptoExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final String password = "I AM SHERLOCKED";
final String salt = KeyGenerators.string().generateKey();
TextEncryptor encryptor = Encryptors.text(password, salt);
System.out.println("Salt: \"" + salt + "\"");
String textToEncrypt = "*royal secrets*";
System.out.println("Original text: \"" + textToEncrypt + "\"");
String encryptedText = encryptor.encrypt(textToEncrypt);
System.out.println("Encrypted text: \"" + encryptedText + "\"");
// Could reuse encryptor but wanted to show reconstructing TextEncryptor
TextEncryptor decryptor = Encryptors.text(password, salt);
String decryptedText = decryptor.decrypt(encryptedText);
System.out.println("Decrypted text: \"" + decryptedText + "\"");
if(textToEncrypt.equals(decryptedText)) {
System.out.println("Success: decrypted text matches");
} else {
System.out.println("Failed: decrypted text does not match");
}
}
}
And sample output,
Salt: "feacbc02a3a697b0" Original text: "*royal secrets*" Encrypted text: "7c73c5a83fa580b5d6f8208768adc931ef3123291ac8bc335a1277a39d256d9a" Decrypted text: "*royal secrets*" Success: decrypted text matches
Consider using Encryptor4j of which I am the author.
First make sure you have Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files installed before your proceed so that you can use 256-bit AES keys.
Then do the following:
String password = "mysupersecretpassword";
Key key = KeyFactory.AES.keyFromPassword(password.toCharArray());
Encryptor encryptor = new Encryptor(key, "AES/CBC/PKCS7Padding", 16);
You can now use the encryptor to encrypt your message. You can also perform streaming encryption if you'd like. It automatically generates and prepends a secure IV for your convenience.
If it's a file that you wish to compress take a look at this answer Encrypting a large file with AES using JAVA for an even simpler approach.
(Maybe helpful for others with a similar requirement)
I had a similar requirement to use AES-256-CBC encrypt and decrypt in Java.
To achieve (or specify) the 256-byte encryption/decryption, Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy should set to "Unlimited"
It can be set in the java.security file under $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security (for JDK) or $JAVA_HOME/lib/security (for JRE)
crypto.policy=unlimited
Or in the code as
Security.setProperty("crypto.policy", "unlimited");
Java 9 and later versions have this enabled by default.
After reading through erickson's suggestions, and gleaning what I could from a couple other postings and this example here, I've attempted to update Doug's code with the recommended changes. Feel free to edit to make it better.
Some notes: This uses a 128 bit encryption key - java apparently won't do 256 bit encryption out-of-the-box. Implementing 256 requires installing some extra files into the java install directory.
Also, I'm not a crypto person. Take heed.

Generating your own key from a byte array is easy:
byte[] raw = ...; // 32 bytes in size for a 256 bit key
Key skey = new javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
But creating a 256-bit key isn't enough. If the key generator cannot generate 256-bit keys for you, then the Cipher class probably doesn't support AES 256-bit either. You say you have the unlimited jurisdiction patch installed, so the AES-256 cipher should be supported (but then 256-bit keys should be too, so this might be a configuration problem).
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey);
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(plainText.getBytes());
A workaround for lack of AES-256 support is to take some freely available implementation of AES-256, and use it as a custom provider. This involves creating your own Provider subclass and using it with Cipher.getInstance(String, Provider). But this can be an involved process.
What I've done in the past is hash the key via something like SHA256, then extract the bytes from the hash into the key byte[].
After you have your byte[] you can simply do:
SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[] encryptedBytes = cipher.doFinal(clearText.getBytes());
Adding to @Wufoo's edits, the following version uses InputStreams rather than files to make working with a variety of files easier. It also stores the IV and Salt in the beginning of the file, making it so only the password needs to be tracked. Since the IV and Salt do not need to be secret, this makes life a little easier.

Use this class for encryption. It works.
public class ObjectCrypter {
public static byte[] encrypt(byte[] ivBytes, byte[] keyBytes, byte[] mes)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
NoSuchPaddingException,
InvalidKeyException,
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
IllegalBlockSizeException,
BadPaddingException, IOException {
AlgorithmParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(ivBytes);
SecretKeySpec newKey = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "AES");
Cipher cipher = null;
cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, newKey, ivSpec);
return cipher.doFinal(mes);
}
public static byte[] decrypt(byte[] ivBytes, byte[] keyBytes, byte[] bytes)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
NoSuchPaddingException,
InvalidKeyException,
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
IllegalBlockSizeException,
BadPaddingException, IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
AlgorithmParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(ivBytes);
SecretKeySpec newKey = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "AES");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, newKey, ivSpec);
return cipher.doFinal(bytes);
}
}
And these are ivBytes and a random key;
String key = "e8ffc7e56311679f12b6fc91aa77a5eb";
byte[] ivBytes = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };
keyBytes = key.getBytes("UTF-8");
