[ios] AES Encrypt and Decrypt

Update Swift 4.2

Here, for instance, we encrypt a string to base64encoded string. And then we decrypt the same to a readable string. (That would be same as our input string).

In my case, I use this to encrypt a string and embed that to QR Code. Then another party scan that and decrypt the same. So intermediate won't understand the QR codes.

Step 1: Encrypt a string "Encrypt My Message 123"

Step 2: Encrypted base64Encoded string : +yvNjiD7F9/JKmqHTc/Mjg== (The same printed on QR code)

Step 3: Scan and decrypt the string "+yvNjiD7F9/JKmqHTc/Mjg=="

Step 4: It comes final result - "Encrypt My Message 123"

Functions for Encrypt & Decrypt

func encryption(stringToEncrypt: String) -> String{
    let key = "MySecretPKey"
    //let iv = "92c9d2c07a9f2e0a"
    let data = stringToEncrypt.data(using: .utf8)
    let keyD = key.data(using: .utf8)
    let encr = (data as NSData?)!.aes128EncryptedData(withKey: keyD)
    let base64String: String = (encr as NSData?)!.base64EncodedString(options: NSData.Base64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    print(base64String)
    return base64String
}

func decryption(encryptedString:String) -> String{
    let key = "MySecretPKey"
    //let iv = "92c9d2c07a9f2e0a"
    let keyD = key.data(using: .utf8)
    let decrpStr = NSData(base64Encoded: encryptedString, options: NSData.Base64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    let dec = (decrpStr)!.aes128DecryptedData(withKey: keyD)
    let backToString = String(data: dec!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
    print(backToString!)
    return backToString!
}

Usage:

    let enc = encryption(stringToEncrypt: "Encrypt My Message 123")
    let decryptedString = decryption(encryptedString: enc)
    print(decryptedString) 

Classes for supporting AES encrypting functions, these are written in Objective-C. So for swift, you need to use bridge header to support these.

Class Name: NSData+AES.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface NSData (AES)

- (NSData *)AES128EncryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key;
- (NSData *)AES128DecryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key;
- (NSData *)AES128EncryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key iv:(NSData *)iv;
- (NSData *)AES128DecryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key iv:(NSData *)iv;

@end

Class Name: NSData+AES.m

#import "NSData+AES.h"
#import <CommonCrypto/CommonCryptor.h>

@implementation NSData (AES)

- (NSData *)AES128EncryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key
{
    return [self AES128EncryptedDataWithKey:key iv:nil];
}

- (NSData *)AES128DecryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key
{
    return [self AES128DecryptedDataWithKey:key iv:nil];
}

- (NSData *)AES128EncryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key iv:(NSData *)iv
{
    return [self AES128Operation:kCCEncrypt key:key iv:iv];
}

- (NSData *)AES128DecryptedDataWithKey:(NSData *)key iv:(NSData *)iv
{
    return [self AES128Operation:kCCDecrypt key:key iv:iv];
}

- (NSData *)AES128Operation:(CCOperation)operation key:(NSData *)key iv:(NSData *)iv
{

    NSUInteger dataLength = [self length];
    size_t bufferSize = dataLength + kCCBlockSizeAES128;
    void *buffer = malloc(bufferSize);

    size_t numBytesEncrypted = 0;
    CCCryptorStatus cryptStatus = CCCrypt(operation,
                                          kCCAlgorithmAES128,
                                          kCCOptionPKCS7Padding | kCCOptionECBMode,
                                          key.bytes,
                                          kCCBlockSizeAES128,
                                          iv.bytes,
                                          [self bytes],
                                          dataLength,
                                          buffer,
                                          bufferSize,
                                          &numBytesEncrypted);
    if (cryptStatus == kCCSuccess) {
        return [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:buffer length:numBytesEncrypted];
    }
    free(buffer);
    return nil;
}

@end

I hope that helps.

Thanks!!!
