Answer 1

You can't create a String out of random (in this case encrypted) bytes like you're doing in the last line of your encrypt method - you need to create a Base64 encoded string instead (which you then need to decode back to a byte array in the decrypt method). Alternatively, just have your encrypt method return a byte array and have your decrypt method accept a byte array as its parameter.
