Hi

I have a problem in Encryption/Decryption.I want to encrypt the password before inserting it into the database.And to decrypt the same after reading it from the database to get the original password.
Here is the code I am using.It is working .But if I remove the decrypting code and try to decrypt a password which was encrypted before saving into database it is not returning the original one.It is because the Key is not same as the key used to encrypt.Iam using SUN JCE .
Can any one please help me .

thanks,

Muraleedhar



KeyGenerator keygen=null;


SecretKey desKey = null;


Cipher desCipher = null;


Cipher desCipher1 = null;



java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE());




try


{



keygen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES","SunJCE");


}

catch (java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException ne)

{


ne.printStackTrace();

throw ne;


}


desKey = keygen.generateKey();


desCipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES", "SunJCE");


desCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, desKey);


String toEncryptString = "Hello";


byte[] cleartext = toEncryptString.getBytes();


byte[] ciphertext = desCipher.doFinal(cleartext);


String encryptedText = new String(ciphertext);


System.out.println(encryptedText);


desCipher1.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, desKey);


byte[] ciphertext1 = desCipher1.doFinal(encryptedText.getBytes());


String decryptedText = new String(ciphertext1);


System.out.println(decryptedText);
