Match Java JCE AES CBC Encryption Results

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads

ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

Shows sample code in ASP that matches Java JCE encryption results for 128-bit AES encryption using CBC mode. The equivalent Java JCE code is provided as commented-out code following the ASP code.

' MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");

' byte[] rawKey = md.digest();
