AES 256-bit CBC using PBKDF2 Generated Secret Key

See more Encryption Examples

First generates a 32-byte secret key using PBKDF2 (with HMAC-SHA256), and then uses the secret key to do 256-bit AES CBC mode decryption.

(Duplicates the following Java code)

public String decrypt(String strToDecrypt) {
        try  {
            // Read the initialization vector from the first bytes for the data
            byte [] rawData = Base64.getDecoder().decode(strToDecrypt);
            byte [] iv = new byte[Config.get().encryptionIVLength()];
            byte [] encryptedData = new byte[rawData.length - iv.length];
            System.arraycopy(rawData, 0, iv, 0, iv.length);
            System.arraycopy(rawData, iv.length, encryptedData, 0, encryptedData.length);
 
            IvParameterSpec ivspec = new IvParameterSpec(iv);
 
            SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256");
            KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(secretKey.toCharArray(), salt.getBytes(), 65536, 256);
            SecretKey tmp = factory.generateSecret(spec);
            SecretKeySpec secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(tmp.getEncoded(), "AES");
 
            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5PADDING");
            cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, secretKey, ivspec);
            return new String(cipher.doFinal(encryptedData));
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("Could not decrypt the string.", e);
        }
        return null;
    }
