How to encrypt and decrypt strings in android using AES?
Simple helper class to encrypt and decrypt strings using AES128. The result is Ascii-encoded (actually hex, no base64), so no byte[] has to be stored. A SEED value is used as a shared secret ("Master-Password"). Only with the same SEED the stored values can be decrypted. import java.security.SecureRandom; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator; import javax.crypto.SecretKey; import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec; /** * Usage: * <pre> * String crypto = SimpleCrypto.encrypt(masterpassword, cleartext) * ... * String cleartext = SimpleCrypto.decrypt(masterpassword, crypto) * </pre> * @author ferenc.hechler */ public class SimpleCrypto { public static String encrypt(String seed, String cleartext) throws Exception { byte[] rawKey = getRawKey(seed.getBytes()); byte[] result = encrypt(rawKey, cleartext.getBytes()); return toHex(result); } pu...
