在 VB.NET 中加密和在 PHP 中解密

Encrypt in VB.NET and Decrypt in PHP

提问by Kraang Prime

I am trying to write a function in PHP and in VB.NET that uses Triple DESto pass in BOTH directions encrypted data. The problem, is that when I try to decrypt a string encrypted in VB.NET using PHP, I get an error message saying that the block size of the IV must match.

我正在尝试在 PHP 和 VB.NET 中编写一个函数，该函数使用Triple DES来传递双向加密数据。问题是，当我尝试使用 PHP 解密在 VB.NET 中加密的字符串时，我收到一条错误消息，指出 IV 的块大小必须匹配。

The class I wrote in VB.NET, is as follows and is fully functional as it will encrypt and decrypt its own blocks flawlessly.

我在 VB.NET 中编写的类如下所示并且功能齐全，因为它可以完美地加密和解密自己的块。

    Imports System
    Imports System.Text
    Imports System.IO
    Imports System.Security.Cryptography

    Public Class Cipher

        Dim method As TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
        Dim key As Byte()

        Public Property Password() As String
            Get
                Return System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Key)
            End Get
            Set(value As String)
                key = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value)
            End Set
        End Property

        Public Function Encrypt(data As String) As String
            Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream

            ' Create the encoder to write to the stream.
            Dim dataBytes() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(data)
            Dim encStream As New CryptoStream(ms, method.CreateEncryptor(), System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStreamMode.Write)

            ' Use the crypto stream to write the byte array to the stream.
            encStream.Write(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.Length)
            encStream.FlushFinalBlock()

            ' IV and Ciphered string are each Base64'd and seperated by a comma, then the whole result is Base64'd
            Return Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(Convert.ToBase64String(method.IV) & "," & Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray)))
        End Function

        Public Function Decrypt(data As String) As String
            ' Convert the encrypted text string to a byte array.

            Dim partDecoded As String = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(data))
            Dim dataBytes() As Byte

            If InStr(partDecoded, ",") > 0 Then

                Dim parts() As String = Split(partDecoded, ",")

                ' Get IV from first part
                method.IV = Convert.FromBase64String(parts(0))

                ' Get ciphered data from second part
                dataBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(parts(1))

                ' Create the stream.
                Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream
                ' Create the decoder to write to the stream.
                Dim decStream As New CryptoStream(ms, method.CreateDecryptor(), System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStreamMode.Write)

                ' Use the crypto stream to write the byte array to the stream.
                decStream.Write(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.Length)
                decStream.FlushFinalBlock()

                ' Convert the plaintext stream to a string.
                Return System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(ms.ToArray)
            Else
                Return False
            End If

        End Function

        Public Sub New()
            method = New TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
            method.Mode = CipherMode.CFB
            method.GenerateIV()
        End Sub
    End Class

Example usage of the above class

上述类的示例用法

    Dim c As New Cipher
    c.Password = "12345"

    Dim encrypted As String = c.Encrypt("hello")
    Debug.Print(encrypted)

    Dim decrypted As String = c.Decrypt(encrypted)
    Debug.Print(decrypted)

Now I also have the following PHP code which ALSO works (by itself)

现在我还有以下 PHP 代码，它也可以工作（本身）

    class Cipher {
        private $iv;
        private $securekey;

        function __construct($key) {
            $this->securekey = $key;
        }

        function encrypt($string) {
            $this->iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_3DES, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB),MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM);
            $encrypted = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_3DES, $this->securekey, $string, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, $this->iv));
            return base64_encode(base64_encode($this->iv) . ',' . $encrypted);
        }

        function decrypt($string) {
            $decrypt = base64_decode($string);
            if(strpos($decrypt,',') > 0) {
                $decrypt = explode(',', $decrypt);
                $this->iv = base64_decode($decrypt[0]);
                return trim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_3DES, $this->securekey, base64_decode($decrypt[1]), MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, $this->iv));
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

PHP Example Usage

PHP 示例用法

    $c = new Cipher("12345");
    $encrypted = $c->encrypt("hello");
    echo 'Encrypted: ' . $encrypted . '<br />';

    $decrypted = $c->decrypt($encrypted);
    echo 'Decrypted: ' . $decrypted . '<br />';

    $vb = "MwBOAEoAOQBjAEgAcQAyAC8ASABzAD0ALABmAEUAOQBaAHYAVwBzAFUAYQB3AFYARwBGAHUANABLAGUAVgB3AFcAaABRAD0APQA=";
    echo 'VB.NET Dec: ' . $c->decrypt($vb);

What I have included above in the PHP usage, is the Base64string made with VB.NET that decodes PERFECTLY in VB.NET as the variable $vb.

我在上面的 PHP 用法中包含的是用 VB.NET 制作的Base64字符串，它在 VB.NET 中将 PERFECTLY 解码为变量 $vb。

This is driving me absolutely batty, as the code is correct, and functional -- in both cases -- so what am I missing and can you point out / fix the problem. I do not wish to use Rijndael, or explore other cipher methods, as this one is well established that works across multiple devices natively (iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, etc.).

这让我非常生气，因为代码是正确的，而且功能齐全——在这两种情况下——所以我错过了什么，你能指出/解决问题吗。我不希望使用Rijndael，也不想探索其他密码方法，因为这个方法已经很成熟，可以在本地跨多个设备（iOS、Android、Windows、Linux 等）运行。

Since no one was able to provide a fully functional BI-DIRECTIONAL solution, I have taken the liberty to provide one for the community on this article.

由于没有人能够提供功能齐全的 BI-DIRECTIONAL 解决方案，因此我冒昧地在本文中为社区提供了一个解决方案。

The problem, is that PHP does not conform to the standards by forcing the strings to be padded in order to match. Presently, there is no known way to reliably pass the IV if randomly generated between .NET and PHP (if you do discover how, or this changes, please feel free to revise this).

问题是 PHP 不符合标准，强制填充字符串以进行匹配。目前，如果在 .NET 和 PHP 之间随机生成，还没有已知的方法可以可靠地传递 IV（如果您发现如何或这种变化，请随时修改）。

Following is the COMPLETE solution for encrypting data using Triple DES in a manner that is compatible with .NET and PHP which allows for bi-directional Triple DES encrypted communication. This method is also compatible with Java, Delphi, Objective-C, and many other languages, however such code is not going to be supplied here as that is not a solution to the posted question.

以下是使用 Triple DES 以与 .NET 和 PHP 兼容的方式加密数据的完整解决方案，允许双向 Triple DES 加密通信。此方法也与 Java、Delphi、Objective-C 和许多其他语言兼容，但是这里不会提供此类代码，因为这不是已发布问题的解决方案。

    $phpEncrypted = $tdes->encrypt("Encrypted using PHP");
    $vbEncrypted = "5Ittyr0+jiI7QQmPrvSVnP3s2CeoTJmF"; // Encrypted using VB.NET

    echo "PHP Encrypted: " . $phpEncrypted . '<br />';
    echo "VB Encrypted: " . $vbEncrypted . '<br />';
    echo "PHP Encrypted (decrypted result): " . $tdes->Decrypt($phpEncrypted) . '<br />';
    echo "VB Encrypted (decrypted result): " . $tdes->Decrypt($vbEncrypted) . '<br />';

I did what I could to make both classes usability level identical as the languages would allow naturally. Since PHP does not allow overloading functions, I had to use the password as an optional parameter, which is a string value. The VB.NET solution has an additional override that allows you to pass the byte value of the password string on encrypt/decrypt functions. The example code provided to show the usage for each, shows the most simplistic form of instantiating the object which both classes allow for setting the password on object creation.

我尽我所能使两个类的可用性级别与语言自然允许的相同。由于 PHP 不允许重载函数，我不得不使用密码作为可选参数，它是一个字符串值。VB.NET 解决方案有一个额外的覆盖，允许您在加密/解密函数上传递密码字符串的字节值。提供的示例代码显示了每个类的用法，显示了实例化对象的最简单形式，这两个类都允许在对象创建时设置密码。

For anyone else out there that was bashing their brains trying to find a WORKING bi-directional solution for Triple DES (and did not want to be forced into the box that everyone seems to be pointing to -- Rijndael), then this solution is for you, and you can stop banging your head against the wall.

对于其他任何人都在绞尽脑汁试图为 Triple DES 找到一个有效的双向解决方案（并且不想被迫进入每个人似乎都指向的盒子 - Rijndael），那么这个解决方案是为了你，你可以停止用头撞墙。
